You only want me when it's convenient
And she's not around
You accuse me of being too much
Well, I'm getting sick of standing in the background
I take a risk, step into center stage
And she cuts me off
You remain silent
You're just a puppet hanging from her fingertips
Everyday

Spotlight
How I wish it lit you and I
She drags you to the dark side
And it hurts feeling like we don't deserve
The spotlight
It's a cold war, but I'll keep fighting for you

She drinks you up, tears you down, wears you out
With everything you've ever loved
How could you allow her to come inside
And rearrange your life?
Common sense is such a blur
When all you see goes through her eyes first
And all you need is the devil in disguise
I can feel you slipping through my fingertips
Everyday

Spotlight
How I wish it lit you and I
She drags you to the dark side
And it hurts feeling like we don't deserve
The spotlight
I wish I could pull you away
I can hear you cry
It's a cold war, but I'll keep fighting for you

I'll keep on fighting for you
'Till the battle's won
And she's forever gone
I'll keep fighting for you
