He could have had most anything He could have had it all Put his hands on life and love Let'em go and watched'em fall But the spotlight never shone upon his heart You got to know him on the stage Where you watched him play his part
Soon, like him the world was at your feet Seemed it never had to end You claim you gave him everything But you forgot to be his friend When you get so trapped inside it all I wonder if you can find a way To separate the music and the man
When the trouble comes And you have to know it will He'll be looking for Much more than consolation When the tide turns And there's no place left to run Something or someone Is gonna have to take the blame
You'd better think twice There's gonna have to be a sacrifice What will be the first to go Not the music, that I know You'd better think twice Or you'll have to pay a high price Time to open up your eyes Are you in love or are you hypnotized Is it the music or the man?
