[Verse 1]

I don’t have to be seen

I don’t have to be heard

You can leave me alone outside your world

Where the windows are shut

And the curtains are drawn

In a place where I wish I could belong

I don’t wanna be seen

I don’t wanna be heard

Please just leave me alone inside my world

Where no one can get in

And no one ever stays

In a place where I’m safe to fade away

[Pre-Chorus]

Every time I make the promise, I can’t keep

When I swear, I’ll always be there when you fall asleep

In the end, I won’t pretend while passing through the night

That everything will be alright

[Chorus]

Though you’ll try not to remember

In your heart I’ll be forever

A stranger that you never knew

And there’s nothing I can do

Whatever follows after

In my heart you’ll be forever

A stranger that I never knew

And there’s nothing I can do

[Verse 2]

You don’t need me to speak

You don’t need me to touch

I can see that the feeling’s just too much

Where it’s building inside

And it’s trying to flow

To a place where it’s desperate to go

I don’t want you to speak

I don’t want you to touch

Can’t you see that this pain is just too much?

Where it’s eating inside

And it’s starting to grow

In a place where there’s nowhere else to go

[Pre-Chorus]

But again, I make the promise, I can’t keep

And I swear, I’ll always be there when you fall asleep

In the end, please don’t pretend the truth couldn’t be wrong

When it’s been there it all along

[Chorus]

So, let’s say we can’t remember

And go on living forever

Like strangers that we never knew

’Cause there’s nothing we can do

Whatever follows after

In two hearts carried forever

Love for a stranger that we knew

And there’s nothing we can do

Though you’ll try not to remember

In your heart I’ll be forever

A stranger that you never knew

And there’s nothing I can do

Whatever follows after

In my heart you’ll be forever

A stranger that I never knew

And there’s nothing I can do
