[Intro] mmm mmm mmm [Verse 1] I’ve been playing in the corner, Of a smoke-filled room at night, Pouring out my stories, In the glow of neon light. Faces come and faces go, But they don’t remember me, Just another song in passing, Drowning in their drinks. [Chorus] No one knows my name, Though I’ve been here for years, Giving all my soul away, In laughter and in tears. I don’t need to be a star, That’s never been my game, I just want to be remembered, But no one knows my name. [musical interlude] [Verse 2] I’ve seen promises and dreamers, Burn out before they shine, Watched the jukebox steal the moment, From the melody that’s mine. I keep hoping for connection, Just a voice to call me out, But the silence when I finish, Is the loudest kind of shout. mm mm mmm [Chorus] No one knows my name, Though I’ve been here for years, Giving all my soul away, In laughter and in tears. I don’t need to be a star, That’s never been my game, I just want to be remembered, But no one knows my name. [piano solo] [Drop] [Bridge] Maybe someday, someone listening, Will feel the truth inside the lines, Maybe one song finds its meaning, And lingers on beyond my time. [musical interlude] oooo.... [Final Chorus] No one knows my name, But I’ll keep playing still, For the love that keeps me going, For the fire that won’t be killed. I don’t need the flashing lights, Or fortune to proclaim, I just long for recognition… But no one knows my name. [Outro] I just long for recognition… But no one knows my name. [musical ending]
