The One You Really Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I do believe our love's in danger
I might as well be loving air
You look at me like I'm a stranger
You look at me like I'm not there
I gaze into your eyes of blue
but their beauty is not for mee
You're thinking on someone who's gone
You're dreaming of the one you really love
I made you mine, or so it seemed
Though he is dead he haunts your dreams
I might as well be two feet tall
You never will love me at all...
You're dreaming of the corpse you really love
