As you woke this morning
And opened up your eyes
Did you notice the tear-stains
Lining your face were mine?

Don't you wonder or can't you see
What's happening to our lives?
I can't keep living this masquerade
When my lonely eyes see only your face at night

(I only see) I only see in infrared
I can't dream anymore
Can't you see I need, too?
I can't stand the pain

You've gathered all my secrets
And I don't know who I am
I even feel alone when you're near
'Cause you'll never understand

When we first met, I must have seemed
A million miles away
It's strange how our lives have touched
But the time is right, I'll leave tonight
Don't look in my eyes 'cause you've never seen them so black

(I only see) I only see in infrared
I can't dream anymore
Can't you see I need to
I can't stand the pain

(I only see) I only see in infrared
I can't dream anymore
Can't you see that I need to?
I can't stand this pain

(I only see) I only see in infrared
I can't dream anymore
Can't you see I need to?
I can't stand the pain

(I only see) I only see in infrared
I can't dream anymore
Can't you see I need to?
I can't stand the pain.
