I see you standing in the alleys and the hallways Wait a second, you're gone now I run to touch you but you vanish through the doorway And oh how Hard it is to live without you I love everything about you Now I know you're really gone But my imagination is so strong That I see you coming into view And your face is telling me that you Oh yeah oh, want to be by my side Oh yeah oh, now it's finally time Wait a second Mirage, that's all you are to me Mirage, something I only see So I keep walking through the alleys and the hallways Where are you I keep remembering the kissing in the doorways The car too How it all comes back to me The movies every Saturday The place we used to go to eat I want so much to have it like it used to be That I see you coming into view And your face is telling me that you Oh yeah oh, want to be by my side Oh yeah oh, now it's finally time Here it comes again Mirage, that's all you are to me Mirage, something I only see Just a mirage, that's all you are to me Just a mirage, something that I only see Just a mirage, that's all you are to me Just a mirage, something that I only see
