The night falls heavy on the streets below,
I don’t know where to go, feeling lost, alone.
I follow the crowd, but then I stop,
And there’s a mannequin staring blank, no soul.
What would I look like if I were inside?
Could I pretend that everything’s just fine?
The looks they give me, asking if I’m alright,
I feel a chill, so I turn my head aside.
If someone taps my shoulder, I might fall apart,
I don’t think I can stand here any longer.
I need to run, before someone sees me,
Before they notice what’s really going on.
If you see me passing by on the street tonight,
Just walk away, don’t say a word, let me hide.
I know I look strange, out of place, it’s true,
Please, just for tonight, pretend you didn’t see me.
I wanted to tell someone how hard it’s been,
But no words would come, I couldn’t say a thing.
Even if I spoke, nothing would change at all,
I know that so well, I didn’t bother to try.
Would I disappear if I were inside that shell?
Could I hide from the world, even for a moment?
The looks they give me, asking if I’m alright,
I feel a chill, so I turn my head aside.
If you see me passing by on the street tonight,
Just walk away, don’t say a word, let me hide.
I know I look strange, out of place, it’s true,
Please, just for tonight, pretend you didn’t see me.
If I wipe away these tears before they fall,
Maybe the traces won’t show at all.
I’ll close my eyes, take a deep breath,
And disappear back into the crowd again.
If you see me passing by on the street tonight,
Just walk away, don’t say a word, let me hide.
I know I look strange, out of place, it’s true,
Please, just for tonight, pretend you didn’t see me.
If you see me passing by on the street tonight,
Just walk away, don’t say a word, let me hide.
If tomorrow comes and we meet again,
This time, I’ll be the one to greet you first.
Pretend you didn’t see me.
