To Be Invisible
whenever you're around
then you would never witnessing
the new love that you've found./
No one would have to witness my
public shame..
I wouldn't have to hear people
laying blame../
I was a fool to let you go
seeing you now
it's apparent that I know../
I don't want to go near it
I don't want to hear it..
I don't want to go there
it's just not fair../
To be invisible
so you'd never see me cry..
when you walk by
with that other guy../
To be alone
with my wounded pride
truly alone
without you by my side./
I was a fool to let you go
and every coming day
my conscience says 'I told you so'/
I don't want to hear it
I don't want to be near it
I don't want to go there
it's just not fair...
to be invisible..
to be invisible...
to be-
invisible./
