I know how it is,
Something's always going wrong,
But no one seems to notice,
"How can I take this, am I imaginary?"
The truth hurts and can be scary,
Especially living in a world where no one takes you seriously,
You hang your head,
Move on,
Forever imaginary,
It's not often I get asked how I feel,
Is this reality?
Or another ordeal?
You don't get to pick and choose,
It's not 'Deal or No Deal',
No matter what happens I have to rely on myself, stand up and deal,
But at the same time it's no use living like its all or nothing,
I've still gotta fight through,
But more often than not it feels like it's all for nothing,
When even in your own opinion you will amount to nothing,
Am I imaginary?
Can you see me walk down the street?
No eye contact,
Eyes fixed on my feet,
If this is all pretend then I'll make the best of it,
I've spent too long ignoring my life,
I've made a mess of it,
No matter how rough it gets,
I will get through and live the rest of it,
I'm the only one who can close my eyes,
And lead me blind,
I'm the only one who can crush my dreams,
And forget who I am,
I'm an individual only visible to those willing to understand,
Forever imaginary.

She sits there pretty with eyes that call me near,
and it's clear,
the sun shines down on me
if only for a moment,
I am free
Now I don't know what went wrong,
the sea has yet to calm,
and the storm has begun,
as we stand wishing,
waiting for the sun,

No, I'm not what you wish me to be,
who I am is not who you wish to see,
but I am here nonetheless,
ask of me nothing more,
nothing less,
everything but you is meaningless,
I see you smile,
and now I can finally feel how it feels to feel okay,
I live to fight another day,
If only for a moment,
I am free,
and the sun shines down on me,
Now, I don't know what went wrong,
the sea has yet to calm,
and the storm has begun,
as we stand wishing,
waiting for the sun

Some time has come to pass,
and the sunshine has all but disappeared,
can you see through my eyes?
Can you see anything at all?
Take a picture from my point of view,
can you see what you've become?
No longer does the sun shine through,
you say you love me with all your rage,
I find it hard to believe,
hard to breathe,
hard to see,
your heart's a dusty book now,
I can't stand to turn the page,
can't stand to take a peek
at why you're so ashamed,
why you are so crazed,
but act oh so brave,
at times when I'm so afraid,
I don't know what went wrong,
but you are gone now,
leaving me to drown,
the sea has yet to calm,
and the storm has begun,
as I stand here by myself now wishing,
waiting,
waiting for the sun,
but it's not sunny anymore.

Now, I won't try to analyze or criticize what was going on inside your head,
I won't even try to investigate or insinuate about the time taken,
leaving me waiting hoping for a reply but I was mistaken,
heartbroken left alone thinking my love tainted, no I won't try and figure what triggered you to leave,
or why I still want to believe,
there's something out there that can bring me an ounce of relief from the grief,  
I just stopped Thinking with my mind my heart was just taking over,
I was turned around going in circles,
my whole world turned dark like all those sad songs you listen to on the radio to release your frustration,
but you seem to not care I haven't even spoken and you're already reaching to change the station, was it exasperation or desperation,
procrastination or your exoneration of obligation, vindication,
or was what I thought as love just another irritation,
I ask and ask but am met with silence instead,
no I won't ask what's going on inside your head, its plain to see no need for anymore concentration, I was merely mistaken.
