Why is it whenever I imagine you,
you're always in disguise?
Why does the one who's always dying
cry for the one who survives?
Even though you expect everything,
it comes as a surprise
when you find that you're not invited,
with no one to confide in...
No one said you couldn't come,
no one said you couldn't call my name.
No one said this would be fun,
no one said you wouldn't feel the same
as you did without love...
So you ring the bell, knock on the door
but no one comes to see
why the one standing there
doesn't accept exclusivity.
So you peek through the window
wondering who's at this party,
and you once seemed so excited,
but now you're undecided...
You imagine everything as if it were the past,
and you stumble through the door
into an ordinary orgy of one more way to keep you
in my arms when you're not here...
So when you peek through the window
it comes as no surprise
when you find that you're not invited—
at least that's what the fantasy provided...
