You wouldn't believe your eyes
If you woke up in the morning
And didn't see me lying by your side
The window wide open
And the tears I cried
They're everywhere
That's all you get tonight

If I just ignore you
When you speak
You might think I'm rude
But I just stand and stare at you

I like to make myself believe
You'll become a real man with time
It's hard to say I'd like to stay awake
While I'm dreaming
I like to make myself believe
'Cause nothing you say is what it seems
I should say I love you
But I'm sure I would love you more
If you were not here
I like to make myself believe
You are not here

All the words you leave behind
Float like ashes in the wind
Every promise fades away
Before it can begin

I close my eyes to hide
The truth I never find
I'm here but gone
Lost inside my mind

If I just ignore you
When you speak
You might think I'm rude
But I just stand and stare at you

I like to make myself believe
You'll become a real man with time
It's hard to say I'd like to stay awake
While I'm dreaming
I like to make myself believe
'Cause nothing you say is what it seems
I should say I love you
But I'm sure I would love you more
If you were not here
I like to make myself believe
You are not here

Maybe tomorrow I'll find a way
To keep the silence, to walk away
But every night I fall again
Into the words I never say

I like to make myself believe
You'll become a real man with time
But nothing changes, I can't pretend
I'm just waiting for the end
I should say I love you
But I'm sure I would love you more
If you were not here
If you were not here
(Not here, not here)
(Not here, not here)
