Lyrics

How can I pretend that I don't see
What you hide so carelessly?
I saw her bleed
You heard me breathe
And I froze inside myself and turned away
I must be dreaming

We all live [and]
We all die [but]
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems
Not what you think
No, I must be dreaming
It's only in my mind
Not the real life
No, I must be dreaming

Help! You know I've got to tell someone
Tell them what I know you've done [you've done]
I fear you
But spoken fears can come true

We all live [and]
We all die [but]
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems [not what it seems]
Not what you think [not what you think]
No, I must be dreaming [I must be dreaming]
It's only in my mind [just in my mind]
Not the real life [Not real life]
No, I must be dreaming [I must be dreaming]

We all live [and]
We all die [but]
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems [not what it seems]
Not what you think [not what you think]
No, I must be dreaming [I must be dreaming]
It's only in my mind [just in my mind]
Not the real life [Not real life]
No, I must be dreaming [I must be dreaming]

Not what it seems
Not what you think
I must be dreaming
Just in my mind
Not real life
I must be dreaming
