It was yesterday when you stopped by
And you looked as if you had no cares at all
But behind those eyes
And a fragile smile
You said good-bye
Nothing's real anyway
When people move so fast
You're standing back
You can't pretend
You're part of the scene
You're just caving in
And you don't know why
You never try
Someone tried to call
But you let it ring
It's an invasion
You don't know why
They care about you
The world keeps
Creeping in
You want to hold it back
It's following you
Nothing's real anymore
And you like it that way
It's not giving up
It's just a means of escape
You're just wasting away
And you don't know why
You didn't try
Now the day is done
Without a sound
And when tomorrow comes
You can't remember a thing
You just disappear
And you wonder why it happened to you
