THINKING OF YOU, DREAMING OF HOME
[Verse 1]
I traveled the world, chasing the lights
Raised glasses in cities that blurred into nights
Paid the price for the show, the deal that I made
The louder the cheers, the more I would fade
[Verse 2]
The crowds grew wild, the stages stood tall
But silence backstage felt colder than all
I smiled for the flash, I danced through the pain
While love slipped away like tears in the rain
[Chorus]
Thinking of you, dreaming of home
Glory means nothing when you’re all alone
But I couldn’t stop—addicted to fame
Blinded by pride, too numb to your pain
[Verse 3]
The sun always rose, hiding the night
I drowned in the chords, forgot every fight
The band was my blood, the tour was my drug
Each sold-out crowd cost more of your love
[Chorus – Variation]
Thinking of you, dreaming of home
Glory feels hollow when you’re on your own
I tried to turn back, but couldn’t break free
Trapped in the lights, too lost to see
[Bridge]
You called me back—said, “Please don’t delay”
But I packed one more dream and flew anyway
My head in the clouds when our child slipped away
You needed my heart, but the road made me stray
[Verse 4]
Was I thinking of you? Was I dreaming of home?
Or chasing a ghost I crafted alone?
Now both of you gone, and all that remains
Are songs full of love… and verses of shame
[Final Chorus – Refrain / Outro]
Thinking of you, dreaming of home
Glory feels hollow when you die all alone
Note: This one hits too close to home. Fortunately in real life I noticed in time.
