[Verse 1]
Every night of the year
The dancer confronts her fear
[?] and her worth
Or whether she's [?] or cursed
Or be insecure for the rest of her days
At night she climbs upon a stage
She glances at the perverts who pay the wage
She says "Life is suffering, oh yes I know
But could you let me go"
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the one you're gonna miss
I'm the one that you'll hold dear
About me they'll reminisce
Every night of the year
[Verse 2]
Every night of the year
The writer confronts his fear
Has he done all he could and will he be understood?
Or will his work be a dinosaur luxury?
And as he sits at his desk
He starts to burn up all his texts
He says "Pain is pleasure or so they say
But me, I gotta find my own way"
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the one you're gonna miss
I'm the one that you'll hold dear
About me they'll reminisce
Every night of the year
[Verse 3]
Every night of the year
The actress confronts her fear
Little one steps on the stage
She thinks "What am I doing here?"
And as she takes her marks wondering "Is this a phase?"
And is this all a gift, or is she missing all of it?
But if she sees her mom smile, then it really drives her wild
'Cause her acceptance and approval was worth her while
When [?]
It's just me and you behind the mirror
She keeps screaming inside
Every night of the year
