You only want me when it's convenient And she's not around You accuse me of being too much Well, I'm getting sick of standing in the background I take a risk, step into center stage And she cuts me off You remain silent You're just a puppet hanging from her fingertips Everyday Spotlight How I wish it lit you and I She drags you to the dark side And it hurts feeling like we don't deserve The spotlight It's a cold war, but I'll keep fighting for you She drinks you up, tears you down, wears you out With everything you've ever loved How could you allow her to come inside And rearrange your life? Common sense is such a blur When all you see goes through her eyes first And all you need is the devil in disguise I can feel you slipping through my fingertips Everyday Spotlight How I wish it lit you and I She drags you to the dark side And it hurts feeling like we don't deserve The spotlight I wish I could pull you away I can hear you cry It's a cold war, but I'll keep fighting for you I'll keep on fighting for you 'Till the battle's won And she's forever gone I'll keep fighting for you I'll keep on fighting for you I'll keep on fighting for you 'Till the battle's won And she's forever gone I'll keep fighting for The spotlight How I wish it lit you and I She drags you to the dark side And it hurts feeling like we don't deserve The spotlight I wish I could pull you away I can hear you cry It's a cold war, but I'll keep fighting for you I'll keep fighting for you
