I’m Always On Stage Lyrics by Sam Fender
[Verse 1]
Some time ago, I wandered down a path
That beckoned with a whisper
It crept up and latched upon my back
Now it's with me on the road
Its Machiavellian movements are a test
To witness in the flesh
Makes me smile when I should be crying
And it never lets me rest
[Chorus]
If you see me smiling
It's forceful and violent
Oh, it's still there, though, in the silence
'Cause I'm always on stage
[Verse 2]
There's gack and drink and steroids on the counter
Do you think you're some kind of rock star?
I did all that when I was on the dole
The money didn't stretch as far
But at least then I had my head upon my shoulders
And faced love without fear
But it took that all away
And put my failures on display
And now you're no longer here
[Chorus]
If you see me smiling
It's forceful and violent
You had my soul when it was vibrant
Before I lost it on a stage
If you see me smiling
It's forceful and violent
You had my soul when it was vibrant
Before I lost it on a stage
Ooh
I’m Always On Stage (Lyric Video)
