As if I didn’t already know
As if I didn’t feel the blow
As if my heart is bleeding now
As if I’m hurt by our spiteful row
As if I am cold and tired
As if I am lost, no place to hide
As if I could believe in you
As if all I do is true
As if I can always be
All you ever ask of me
“As if” is what you say
When I say the same each day
As if you really care
As if I am really there
“As if” is all I could say
When you and me fell out today
As if I am this man you see
As if I am just this small me
As if it is real anyway
If as one we could watch each day
As if we’re on a universal stage
Playing out these parts so grave.
“As if” is what I say
If I can play my part
Just like I might as in a play.
