When You Don't See Me" - Vision Thing - 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...
