Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Oh, what you see is what you never had
[Verse 2]
Get real
Get another
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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'd wear it when you're gone
[Verse 5]
Get real
Get another
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
You never learned
You bought me everything and less
Oh, I turned, you couldn't let me move
I guess, I don't deny, it don't disprove
And what you see is what you lost
If I were you, I would not try
[Verse 8]
Get real
Get another
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
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
