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 your 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...
