weglobe - backstage lyrics

[verse 1]
this dressing room is smaller than it looks in magazines
the walls are thin, i hear their voices through the seams
they’re talking ’bout the reviews, the numbers, and the pay
n0body asks if i am okay

[verse 2]
there’s a coffee stain on the collar of my gown
and a note from someone famous who’s in town
it says, “you were amazing,” in a hurried, slanted hand
i don’t feel amazing, i don’t understand

[chorus]
’cause backstage, the flowers are already dying
backstage, there’s no use in even trying to smile
they hand me a script with the words i should say
but my hands are shaking, and i just want to fade away
it’s all sequins and shadows where the light don’t reach
and a quiet kind of lonely that’s too heavy to speak
[bridge]
and i remember dancing in the kitchen with my mom
the smell of something cooking, feeling like i belonged
now there’s a tray of food i won’t eat from a place i don’t know
and i’m twenty+six years old, and i’ve never felt so old

[final chorus]
oh, backstage, the flowers are already dying!
backstage, there’s no use in even trying to smile!
they hand me a script with the words i should say!
but my hands are shaking, and i just want to fade away!
it’s all sequins and shadows where the light don’t reach!
and a quiet kind of lonely that’s too heavy to speak!

[outro]
backstage…
where the music never plays…
just the echo of my name…
