lyrics

I swore I’d forget you,
told my psychiatrist the dreams were gone
she doesn’t believe you’re real
gave me pills to make you disappear
The phone stopped ringing a while ago
I swear it worked before
we’d spend nights talking until dawn
you must have changed your number
you must not want me anymore

I used to take you to the cinema, to dinner
I’d always drive; I sometimes paid for two
I’ve started thinking - maybe there’s no proof
other than that I loved you, (yes, I did!)
If only… if only you were real

I used to draw your name in the sand and sing for you
you made me feel more alive than anyone I knew
just thinking of you my blood would rush
I’d shiver when we’d almost touch
sometimes I think it’s hard to love anyone so much

I swore I’d let you go
I dance with people, imagine they are you
I get in bed with them and I don’t feel a thing
unless I call your name silently - they never hear
they never know you’ve been my only one
If only you were real
