[intro] [intro guitar solo] [guitar rock swagger] [verse 1] [deep voice, controlled attitude, rock riff] They invent my name They invent my life Whether I like it or not The past is left behind A beautiful golden image And yet I'm only a man Who gets lonely at night Often alone with no one [chorus] [powerful voice, open chords] [explosive, huge energy] I'm nothing but a singer Living without a road With my heart held in my hand And my songs as my soul I'm nothing but a singer (a singer) Who never asked for anything And sometimes I'm afraid too Like all those who would love me [verse 2] [sharp vocal delivery, fuller riff than verse 1] I cried out far too loud From the deepest of my heart I forgot how to love And let happiness depart To be loved so very much And terribly alone I watch my life pass by Like a river flowing on [chorus] [full band, layered vocals, gang screams, soaring lead vocal, crashing cymbals, guitar solo fills between the lines] I'm nothing but a singer Living without a road With my heart held in my hand And my songs as my soul I'm nothing but a singer (a singer) Who never asked for anything And sometimes I'm afraid too Like all those who would love me [emotional guitar solo] [guitar solo] [expressive bends, rock scale attitude, screaming high notes, crying sustain, melodic stars then turning wild] [verse 3] [folk lead guitar following] Under the evening lights I smile and hide it all But behind every gaze There is so much left untold Every applause keeps ringing Like an echo in the void When the silence holds me captive I still search for my guide, hey [chorus] [biggest chorus of the song, full band, vocal layers, gang screams, soaring lead vocal] I'm nothing but a singer Living without a road With my heart held in my hand And my songs as my soul I'm nothing but a singer (a singer) Who never asked for anything And sometimes I'm afraid too Like all those who will love me [guitar solo] [guitar solo crying] [lead guitar soft to end]
