On my own pretending he's beside me
All alone I walk with him till morning
Without him I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me

In the rain, the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are mist in the river
In the dark days the trees are full of star light
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself
And not to him
And although I know that he's blind
Still I say, there's a way for us

I love him, but when the night is over
He's gone, the river's just a river
Without him the world around me changes
The trees are bearing everywhere
The streets are full of strangers

I love him, but everyday I'm running
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me his world would go on turning
A world that's full of happiness that I have never loved

I love him, I love him
I love him, but only on my own
