When You Are Asleep

I wonder if you can see

If you can see the secret that I keep

Are you the one for me

I wonder how much longer I

can keep pretending that I'm there by your side

You're alone when you're with me

The truth is buried deep

Beneath the mask you see

At night I wake and weep

But only when you are asleep

I'm waiting for the day

when you'll go down on your knees and say ‘Will you marry me?’

That day is what I live to see

Why must I be this kind of guy

who never dares to look straight into your eyes

The truth would make you cry

So I'll leave it up to you

I'll treat you worse and worse 'til you're forced to go

My love for you has grown cold

The truth is buried deep

Beneath the mask you see

At night I wake and weep

But only when you are asleep
