Blackground

I'm one of your biggest fans
but you don't notice me 
so you don't know it's me
and that's okay 
because I root for you anyway
and I'll root for you any day 
if only you were aware 
the real reason why I stare 
maybe you would smile 
for a little while longer 
knowing that it's you 
who inspires me to be stronger
I've seen enough with these eyes
to realize that things 
aren't always what they seem 
there are so many lies 
so it's a surprise to see 
someone chasing their dream
and that someone is you
but if I told you 
you wouldn't believe me 
then you would leave me 
so I'll play the background
and try not to make a sound 
it won't be easy
as I enjoy being endearing 
so if you hear any cheering 
from this man right here 
just remember that I'm a fan 
and I'm always right here
