Lyrics (from CD booklet):
Verse One:
I only see myself
Reflected in your eyes
So all that I believe I am
Essentially are lies
And everything I've hoped to be
or ever thought I was
Died with your belief in me
so who the hell am I?
I don't know if I'm real without you
What is left of me without you?
I don't know what's real without you
How can I exist without you?
I'm wondering 'round confused
Wondering why I try
The more that you deny my pain
The more it intensifies...
I need someone to ache for me
The way I ache for you
If you ignore that I'm alive
I've nothing to cling to
I don't know if I'm real without you
What is left of me without you?
I don't know what's real without you
How can I exist without you?
I stare in this mirror
So tired of this life
If only you would speak to me
Or care if I'm alive
Once I swore I would die for you
But I never meant it like this
(I never meant it like this)
No, I never meant it like this
I don't know if I'm real without you
What is left of me without you?
I don't know what's real without you
How can I exist without you?
How can I exist without you?
How can I exist without you?
