The breakthrough single for Stabbing Westward, and I must
say. One ***in cool video, anyway, a pretty easy song.
Standard Tuning

Intro, Outro, and inbetween 1st and 2nd verse...
Play that, then end on a basic E.
Play that E, it is what to play and let ring out inbetween the

The words...
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 what the hell am I?
I don't know if I am real without you
What is left of me without you
I don't know whats real without you
How can I exist without you
I'm wondering around confused
Wondering why I try
The more that you deny my pain
The more it intensifies
I pray for someone to ache for me
The way I ache for you
If you ignore that I'm alive
I've nothing to clinge to
I don't know if I am 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 into this mirror
So tired of this life
If only you would speak to me
Or cared if I'm alive
Once I swore I would die for you
But I never meant like this
I never meant like this
No I never meant like this
I don't know if I am real without you
What is left of me wiothout you
I don't know whats real without you
How can I exist without you
How can I exist without you
How can I exist without you
