Lyrics
The Idol
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Will I be alone this morning?
Will I need my friends?
Something just to ease away my pain
And no one ever sees the loneliness behind my face
I am just a prisoner to my fame
If I could only stand
And stare in the mirror
Could I see?
One fallen hero with a face
Like me
And if I scream would anybody hear me
If I smash the silence, you'll see what fame
Has done to me
Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
I'll never know if love's a lie, ooh
Being crazy in paradise is easy
Do you see the prisoners in my eyes?
Where is the love to shelter me?
Give me love, come set me free
Where is the love to shelter me?
Only love, love set me free
Set me free
