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
