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)
