Title Withheld
There's a rock in my chest
where my heart used to be,
I've learned to shut down
automatically.
So listen up
and be aware,
that I no longer
really care.
Your passion on stage
has the audience stirred,
and I was the one
who made sure you were heard.
That radio station
who launched your fame,
was my doing,
yet you can't say my name.
You're gonna' be a star,
you're gonna' be adored,
you deserve it,
I'm a minor chord.
There's a rock in my chest,
where my heart used to be,
and my life has always been
a little off-key.
My hero in residence,
doesn't know all I've done.
And I loved him, I Loved him,
just like my own son.
(Song title: Title Withheld. Artist: Ryan White. Band "Resident Hero.")
