As you awoke this morning

and opened up your eyes

Did you notice the tear-stains

lining your face were mine



Don't you wonder, can't you see

what's happening to our lives

I can't keep living this masquerade

When my lonely eyes see only your face at night



I only see in infrared

I can't dream anymore

Can't you see I need, too

I can't stand the pain



You've gathered all my secrets

and I don't know who I am

I even feel alone when you're near

'cause you'll never understand



When we first met I must have seemed

a million miles away

It's strange how our lives have touched

But the time is right

I'll leave tonight

Don't look in my eyes

'Cause you've never seen them so black



I only see in infrared

I can't dream anymore

Can't you see I need to

I can't stand the pain
