Not Make Believe

Isn't just that we cause each other such pain
Everywhere we go now, at home or at play
It hurts my self esteem
It hurts my everything
I am reeling oh, it hurts my feelings
Sometimes it was heavenly
(Sometimes it was heavenly)
Sometimes it was too heavy
(Sometimes it was too heavy)
Sometimes it's just too much for me
(Sometimes it's just too much for me)
Well I want to run away
(Oh, well I want to run away)

Then there are the things
Cast this doubt away
Those things that made me stay for so long
Not make believe then
I'm not make believe now
Not make believe then
I'm not make believe now
I didn't understand then
But I understand now

It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
And they both rushed by
Like a thief in the night
Taking no prisoners, just like the first time
Adventures in paradise
Just like the first time

Then there are the things
Cast this doubt away
Those things that made me stay for so long
Not make believe then
I'm not make believe now
Not make believe then
I'm not make believe now
I didn't understand then
But I understand now

Then there are the things
Cast this doubt away
Those things that made me stay for so long
Not make believe then
I'm not make believe now
It’s not make believe then
I'm not make believe now
I didn't understand then
But I understand now
