I don't wanna be imaginary

When your thoughts turn back to me

I'd like you to see the reality

That we shared so lovingly.

 

And I don't wanna seem just part of a dream

In a fading fantasy

If you could just see the reality

That would be good enough for me.

 

Dark clouds and rain can cover my pain

Like tears falling from the sky

But if once in a while you'd think of me and smile

Maybe I could be happy again.

 

If you don't mind I'd like you to find

It in your heart to set me free

From the blame and the shame and the losing game

Of my painful misery.

 

And I don't wanna be just a memory

When your thoughts turn back to me

I'd like you to see the reality

That would be good enough for me.

 

 

 

A simple (and realistic?) few words with a folksy melody.
