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 shadow 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

oh, 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
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

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
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
