Can' t you see me in the background
The helping hand when you' re down
Pointing the way when you come around
The light in the dark
A stark reminder of where you want to be
A place you imagine but will never see
Because you can' t forget about me
You thought it was through
But you never knew
How bad you' d miss me
Now you need me
But can' t you see me in the background
The helping hand when you' re down
Pointing the way when you come around
I' ll always be here
I' m the end in you
At the beginning of something new
But you can' t move on
You just can' t go on
You thought it was through
But you never knew
How bad you' d miss me
Now you need me
But can' t you see me in the background
The helping hand when you' re down
Pointing the way when you come around
I' ll always be here
I' m your own separate song
On a page that went wrong
In a diary that doesn' t belong
In a world this strong
What went wrong
I can' t move on
You thought it was through
But you never knew
How bad you' d miss me
Now you need me
But can' t you see me in the background
The helping hand when you' re down
Pointing the way when you come around
I' ll always be here
