WHEN YOU DON'T SEE ME

When you don´t see me…
It´s not a matter of going to grow
It´s not a matter of time or how I feel
I´m throwing off the shadows of a better man now
What you see is what you never had
Get real – get another

I don´t exist when you don´t see me
I don´t exist when you´re not here
What the eye don´t see won´t break the heart
You can make believe when we´re apart
but when you leave I disappear

When you don´t see me…
It´s kind of different when you´re there
You can lease the peace of mind
You bought a mask - I put it on
You never thought to ask me
if I wear it when you´re gone

You never learned
You bought me everything and less
I turned
You couldn´t let me move
I guess, I don´t deny, it don´t disprove
What you see is what you lost
if I were you I wouldn´t try
