I don't have to be seen
I don't have to be heard
You can leave me alone outside your world
Where the windows are shut
And the curtains are drawn
In a place where I wish I could belong
I don't wanna be seen
I don't wanna be heard
Please just leave me alone inside my world
Where no one can get in
And no one ever stays
In a place where I'm safe to fade away
Every time I make the promise, I can't keep
When I swear, I'll always be there when you fall asleep
In the end, I won't pretend while passing through the night
That everything will be alright
Though you'll try not to remember
In your heart I'll be forever
A stranger that you never knew
And there's nothing I can do
Whatever follows after
In my heart you'll be forever
A stranger that I never knew
And there's nothing I can do
You don't need me to speak
You don't need me to touch
I can see that the feeling's just too much
Where it's building inside
And it's trying to flow
To a place where it's desperate to go
I don't want you to speak
I don't want you to touch
Can't you see that this pain is just too much?
Where it's eating inside
And it's starting to grow
In a place where there's nowhere else to go
But again, I make the promise, I can't keep
And I swear, I'll always be there when you fall asleep
In the end, please don't pretend the truth couldn't be wrong
When it's been there it all along
So, let's say we can't remember
And go on living forever
Like strangers that we never knew
'Cause there's nothing we can do
Whatever follows after
In two hearts carried forever
Love for a stranger that we knew
And there's nothing we can do
Every time I make the promise I can't keep
When I know, I'll have to go after you fall asleep
In the end, I can't pretend when passing through the night
That everything is still alright
