Baby, I ve been watching from a distance
And everything it rings familiarly, Mmmm
But I can t imagine what you must be thinkin
Cuz she could never be what I can be

Oh, loneliness has really got you twisted
And there s so much your eyes don t even see, yeah
And then I laid my eyes upon your woman
And to my surprise I saw me lookin at me
But how could you be with her?

Her
You don t really love her, no
She
Cuz she s not me and I
I
I won t stand by and watch you pretend
So baby how could you?

Her
You don t really love her, no
She
Cuz she s not me and I
I
I can t stand by and watch you pretend

We parted so that we could make it better
Cuz boy, you said we needed time and space, Mmm
We vowed that it was only temporary
But I never thought that I would be replaced

Now you re living all our dreams with another
And you re giving everything you promised me
You re pretending we re together when we re nothing
But she s not me, she can t be, no
How could you be with her, oh baby

Her
You don t really love her, no, no
She
Cuz she s not me and I
I
I can t stand by and watch you pretend
So how could you play me?

Her
Cuz don t really love her, no
She
Cuz she s not me and I
I
I can t stand by and watch you pretend

I never thought that you would be hurting this way
And I never thought I d be without you, without you
You didn t have to run away to find me again
cuz I ve always been here I am the real thing
So don t you pretend, oh

Her
You don t really love her
She
Cuz she s not me and I
I
I can t stand by and watch you pretend
Oh

Her
You don t really love her, no
She
Cuz you really love and and I
I
I can t stand by and let you pretend
We could start again

Her
Ya gotta let her go baby
She
And bring your love to me
I
I want your love, I need your love

Check it out
Are we really happy here
With this lonely game we play
Searching for words to say
Searching but not finding out here
We re standing anyway
Where lost, here in this mask, this masquerade
Whe re both afraid to say whe re not to far away
No...from...

Do you remember
The time of laughter
Children playing, life was so sweet
Before our city forgot us
And let the druglord take our street
Pacify me politician
Pacify me with your lies
Blind to the people suffering
Deaf to the children...

I see a rainbow in the sky
So many colors and the light
I see the world and I see all the people
How they re running all the time

I see your shadow over me
Then in my ears I hear a symphony...

Hiding the truth, everlasting youth
Runnin the thin line till dawn
The impossible waits, the kiss of death
Silence - the secret will hurt
No more time to fulfill
Enter darkness and thrills

I need more time to understand
Till we re reaching the end

Nine lives...

Nobody knows the trouble she s seen
She is she s my ghetto queen
For real

In this brutal system that knows no pity
Living in Nightmare City
In this urban battlefield she mans the barricade
with some kind of crazy hope in these days of rage
Living in Nightmare...
