lyrics

I caught you talking to the real me
Can't tell you how unhappy that shit makes me
Next time you see him leave him be
You found this song and put it on repeat
This song was supposed to stay between
Brian May and me

The house lights go up and the crowd erupts
Everything went like it should
Rock star sinks back into lounge lizard state
Flamboyant costume remain

Came towards me in a nonchalant way
Pulled on my padlock and chain
I asked for her name and she asked me to play
Cigarettes and beers, get in the car she's skipping gears

I caught you talking to the real me
Can't tell you how unhappy that shit makes me
Next time you see him leave him be
You found this song and put it on repeat
This song was supposed to stay between
Brian May and me

She opens my internal dictionary
And uncovers the rules to my game
I ask her to stop as the sunlight emerges
The rock star's been killed, the guitar case is closed

I caught you talking to the real me
Can't tell you how unhappy that shit makes me
Next time you see him leave him be
You found this song and put it on repeat
This song was supposed to stay between
Brian May and me
