The breakthrough single for Stabbing Westward, and I must
say. One ***in cool video, anyway, a pretty easy song.

The words...


  I only see myself reflected in your eyes

  So all that I believe I am

  Essentially are lies

  And everything I've hoped to be

  Or ever thought I was

  Died with your belief in me

  So what the hell am I?


  I don't know if I am real without you

  What is left of me without you

  I don't know whats real without you

  How can I exist without you


  I'm wondering around confused

  Wondering why I try

  The more that you deny my pain

  The more it intensifies

  I pray for someone to ache for me

  The way I ache for you

  If you ignore that I'm alive

  I've nothing to clinge to


  I don't know if I am real without you

  What is left of me without you

  I don't know what's real without you

  How can I exist without you


  I stare into this mirror

  So tired of this life

  If only you would speak to me

  Or cared if I'm alive

  Once I swore I would die for you

  But I never meant like this

  I never meant like this

  No I never meant like this


  I don't know if I am real without you

  What is left of me wiothout you

  I don't know whats real without you

  How can I exist without you

  How can I exist without you

  How can I exist without you
