this is in case you cannot see

and this might very well be

the closest we will ever see

to the me i still always want to be

not the one you get to see

not the one i got for free

not the one i've tried to flee

not the one i really wanted to be

this is in case you cannot tell

not everything turns out well

no such thing as a magic spell

yeah just another emotional swell

not the one i for which i plead

not the one to keep in steed

not that one not THAT bad seed

not the one i really need

this is the moment you cannot feel

this is the mettle in your steel

this is the moment you make my real

this is the moment i make my deal

not the one supposed to be kept

not the one supposed to be swept

and all those times we ever crept

not the ones that never slept!
