When You Don't See Me - The Sisters of Mercy

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…
