It's just not working, we've both known for sometime That old fire's been out for so long, we've just stopped trying The only time we're touching is when we're passing in the hall And yesterday's "I love you"s don't really matter at all I might as well be leaving, I'm already out of your mind Baby, go right on dreaming, your dreams just might come true this time Tomorrow when you wake up, you'll be lying here all alone But I'll pin a note on your pillow, or you might not even notice I'm gone I wish that we could go back and love like we did before We've been, alone together, so long I can't take any more My body's crying, wake up, let me hold you one more time But you just go right on sleeping, my heart won't let me change my mind I might as well be leaving, I'm already out of your mind Baby, go right on dreaming, your dreams just might come true this time Tomorrow when you wake up, you'll be lying here all alone But I'll pin a note on your pillow, or you might not even notice I'm gone I'm gone I'll pin a note on your pillow, or you might not even notice I'm gone I might as well be leaving, I'm already out of your mind Baby, go right on dreaming, your dreams just might come true this time Tomorrow when you wake up you'll be lying here all alone But I'll pin a note on your pillow, or you might not even notice I'm gone(fade)
