It's  not surprising it could end like this
 Your eyes are open even when you kiss
 You're so distant
  So cold,  so resistant
 You  see the world in only grey and black
 Now  how could anybody live like that
  Without  screaming
  Without  dying for dreaming
 (Refrain)
And  you stare out the window at  the passing cars
 And you look at the sky, thank  your unlucky stars
 No you're never quite happy right  where you are
 (Chorus)
So  you keep on
  Inventing shadows
 Where there are none
 No, there are none
 Yeah, you keep on
  Inventing shadows
 Where there are none
 You don't even see the sun
 Can't you see the sun?
 (Verse 2)
You  can't be shocked that I might want to leave
 The way you're living's like you're half asleep
  You  just drain me
 If I go who could blame me?
 (Refrain)
And  you stare out the window at the  passing cars
 And you look at the sky, thank your  unlucky stars
 No  you're never quite happy right  where you are
 Right where you, with  all that you are
 (Chorus)
 So  you keep on
  Inventing  shadows
 Where there are none
 No, there are none
 Yeah, you keep on
 Inventing shadows
  Where  there are none
 You don't even see the sun
 Can't you see the sun?
 (Bridge)
 You're  so young, so  beautiful
  So  flawless in my  eyes
 Don't you know the world  shines
 Every time you smile
 Why can't you just  smile?
 (Chorus)
So  you keep on
 Inventing shadows
  Where  there are none
  No,  there are none
  Yeah,  you keep on
  Inventing  shadows
  Where  there are none
 You don't even see the sun
  Can't  you see the sun?
 (Outro)
 You  dim the lights in the world I see
 How I wish I could still believe
 Time to save me
 If I go who could blame me
