You've got me so confused and there's word I could use But I'm afraid to say them. I feel I've been bad and I'm boiling mad Still I can't live without you. You don't have the time and you won't spend a dime Not even to call me. You don't know I exist and I wouldn't be missed If I had the nerve to quit you. Invisible, I feel like I'm invisible. You treat me like I'm not really there And you don't really care. I know this romance It ain't going nowhere. Invisible just like my love. You treat me like I'm invisible. When you get the need to flirt you do the work You just don't care how much it hurts. I can never reach you on the phone It rings and rings But I know you're home. It may be naive but I just want to believe I'm the only one. I tell myself lies and give you alibis Knowing your promises you'll never keep Like the merry go round I'm going up I'm going down I'm on a dead end street. Invisible just like my love I feel like I'm invisible. You treat me like I'm not really there And you don't really care. I know this romance It ain't going nowhere. Although I know it's not a lot Don't want to lose whatever we got. I keep hanging on knowing I can't win Cause it's too hard start over again. Invisible, I feel like I'm invisible Invisible just like my love.
