She's feeling alone
Just like yesterday
Yeah the show is going on
Her smile is in place

She's feeling a love
With crowds everywhere
'Cause the love she sings about isn't here
For her to share

She's been looking for a heavy day
A heavy day, a heavy day
The day he said he's coming home to stay
'Til then she will cry a million tears

She stands in the light
But she is afraid
She is pretending to the world
She's happy on stage
Two lovers has she
Her songs and her life, yeah
But tell me how could he believe
A song could take his place with me

I've been looking for a heavy day
A heavy day, a heavy day
The day he said he's coming home to stay
'Til then I will cry a million tears

I've been waiting for a heavy day
That heavy day, a heavy day
The day he said he's coming home to stay
'Til then I will cry a million tears
