One more kiss could be the best thing But one more lie could be the worst And all these thoughts are never resting And you're not something I deserve In my head there's only you now This world falls on me In this world there's real and make believe And this seems real to me You love me but you don't know who I am I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand And you love me but you don't know who I am So let me go Let me go I dream ahead to what I hope for And I turn my back on loving you How can this love be a good thing When I know what I'm goin' through In my head there's only you now This world falls on me In this world there's real and make believe And this seems real to me You love me but you don't know who I am I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand And you love me but you don't know who I am So let me go Let me go And no matter how hard I try I can't escape these things inside I know I know When all the pieces fall apart You will be the only one who knows Who knows You love me but you don't know who I am I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand And you love me but you don't know who I am So let me go Let me go And you me but you don't You love me but you don't You love me but you don't know who I am And you love me but you don't You love me but you don't You love me but you don't know me
