The Frontman lyrics

He goes his own way, no use in thinking on a Sunday
Alone in the haze, no use endeavoring to walk straight
He knows his own fame, only remembering his stage name
At home, he knows blame he knows he's worthy of his own shame

In pieces, in pieces, he left his life in pieces
In pieces, in pieces, and now he’s left in pieces

He flies off to Neverland, and he begs them all to stay for the ride
He says he’ll be better man, but inside he know he’s lied
Tells himself he’ll be a star, when he knows his time has come and arrived
And he’s lying straight to the guitar, I say
Don’t dare look the frontman in the eye

He knows about me, he knows I’d kill to sleep soundly
He shows it to me, he shows the price of being so free

In pieces, in pieces, I watch it fall to pieces
In pieces, in pieces, don’t let me fall to pieces

He flies off to Neverland, and he begs them all to stay for the ride
He says he’ll be better man, but inside he know he’s lied
Tells himself he’ll be a star, when he knows his time has come and arrived
And he’s lying straight to the guitar, I say
Don’t dare look the frontman in the eye

He flies off to Neverland, and he begs them all to stay for the ride
He says he’ll be better man, but inside he know he’s lied
Tells himself he’ll be a star, when he knows his time has come and arrived
And he’s lying straight to the guitar, I say
Don’t dare look the frontman in the eye
