Gone away are the golden days
Just a page in my diary
So here I am, an utopian citizin
Still convinced
There's no such thing as idealism

Oh, memories they're following me like a shadow now
And I'm dreaming
'Cause I've already suffered the fever of disbelief

Well, I've seen your act
I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
It ain't hard to see
Who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
I wish you were here, yeah

I was true as the sky is blue
I couldn't soon say the same for you, no, no
So now I find denial in your eyes
I'm mesmerized by the picture that's in my mind now, no, no

So, tell me when I finally see your shallow heart
What it is, yeah
'Cause I don't want to keep on believing in illusions, no, no, no

'Cause I've seen your act
And I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
It ain't hard to see
Who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
I wish you were here

Sometimes I can't explain
And I'm so sorry that I can't
I'll try to concentrate
On your true identity, oh, oh

'Cause I've seen your act
And I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were, yeah
It ain't hard to see
Who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were

I've seen your act
And I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were, yeah
It ain't hard to see
Who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were now
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
