I've been looking so long for you
Now you won't get away from my grasp
You've been living so long in hiding
In hiding behind that false mask

And you know and I know
That you ain't got long now to last
Your looks and your feelings
Are just the remains of your past

You're standing in the wings
There you wait for the curtain to fall
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all
Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call

Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait
Don't you stray, don't fade away
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may
Don't you stray, from the narrow way

I'm running and hiding
In my dreams, you're always there
You're the phantom of the opera
You're the devil, you're just out to scare
You damaged my mind and my soul
It just floats through the air
Haunt me, you taunt me
You torture me back at your lair
