As If I Didn't Know
Living in Denial: As If I Didn't Know Meaning
Lyrics
Everyday I rush right home,
Every day, I hurriedly return home.
Just like you were there waitin' on me,
Imagining as if you were waiting for me.
To put the final touch on one more day.
Completing the day with a final touch.
There's always no answer when I call your name,
Experiencing silence when I call your name.
But I act as though nothing's changed;
Despite changes, I behave as if everything is unchanged.
It's easier for me to live this way.
Choosing an easier path to live with the situation.
As if I didn't know you left me,
Pretending not to know that you left me.
I pretend you're right here in my arms.
Imagining you are still in my arms.
I don't see what it hurts to still love you;
Unfazed by the pain, continuing to love you.
No, I don't see any harm.
Denying any harm in still loving you.
So I go on as if I didn't know,
Continuing with life, feigning ignorance.
As if I didn't know.
Persisting in the act of not knowing.
Every night it's the same routine,
Repeating the same nightly routine.
Off to sleep in search of a dream,
Seeking a dream where we are happy.
Where we're as happy as we ever were.
Longing for the happiness we once had.
And I'll admit I've gotten good,
Becoming adept at ending dreams the way they should.
At makin 'em end the way the way they should;
Manipulating dreams to cope with the pain.
That way I can deal with all this hurt.
Coping strategy to deal with the emotional hurt.
As if I didn't know you left me,
Ignoring the fact that you've left, acting as if you're still with me.
I pretend you're right here in my arms.
Imagining your presence, pretending you're in my arms.
I don't see what it hurts to still love you;
Remaining oblivious to the pain of continuing to love you.
No, I don't see any harm.
Denying any harm in persisting with love.
So I go on as if I didn't know,
Continuing the facade of not knowing the reality.
As if I didn't know.
Persisting in the act of not knowing.
So I go on as if I didn't know,
Continuing the act of not knowing.
As if I didn't know.
Persevering in the pretense of ignorance.
