i thought i saw you
in the street
i really thought that it was you
but when i crossed the road
to say hello
i saw it wasn't true
my heart was beating
so damn hard
i thought that i would die
just like the night we met
just like the night you said goodbye
i thought i heard your voice last night
you told me that i must forget
as if it never happened
or as if it hadn't happened yet
my legs at once went so damn weak
i thought that i would fall
but when i looked around me
there was no-one there at all
i thought that it was you
and so i went to say hello
but someone else's face was there
someone i didn't know
my tears were so useless
that they wouldn't even come
i smiled like an idiot
i've never felt so dumb
and there you were
and all at once
the world began to fold
in beauty searing
disappearing
as the dream foretold
i closed my eyes
and opened them again
and you were gone
i really thought that it was you
my love
i was so wrong
