The Magnetic Fields - I Don't Believe In You (when I'm Not Looking You're Not There.) Lyrics

so you quote love unquote me
well stranger things have come to be
but let's agree to disagree
cause I don't believe you. I don't believe in you.
you tell me I'm not not cute
it's truth or false [something]
but honesty's not your strong suit
and I don't believe you. I don't believe in you.
you tell me of what once was and about [something]
how they were not like me because
but I don't believe you. I don't believe in you.

I had a dream and you were in it. / the blue of your eyes was infinite.
you seemed to be / in love with me / which isn't very realistic.

you [something] and I'll stop crying halfway through
but nothing else you say is true
so I don't believe you. I don't believe in you.
[something] and say I'm [something] I'm full of fun
but you say that to everyone
well I don't believe you. I don't believe in you.
so you're brilliant [something]
you think I just don't understand
but I don't believe you. I don't believe you. / I don't believe you. I don't believe you.


when I was young I saw a square
a hole where something should be there.
I knew all this was just a cage
this knowledge has not changed with age
I knew then and I know it still
I'm being held against my will
inside this stupid hologram
so I won't find out who I am.
I really just pretend to care.
when I'm not looking, you're not there.
and you and your disgusting lies
like gravity and compromise / and flesh and life and love and time,
that's your opinion it's not mine.
I live among the robots now
but I'll find my way out somehow
so save your big reality
for when you're so called touching me.
you're only colors in thin air.
when I'm not looking you're not there.
