I Cannot Believe It's True Lyrics


Phil Collins I Cannot Believe It's True


When I opened your letter yesterday
I could not believe my eyes
Cause I've already given
all I have to give
And I think it must
have slipped your mind

But I remember not so long ago
I gave it all, it's gone
And I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed
time, but it's mine

(chorus)
Oh did you hear me?
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing
the things you do?
No I cannot believe
it's you, really you

Oh these people I'm
talking to don't understand
They don't seem to realize
They're listening but
they're not hearing me
They're being too cruel to be kind

Any kind of feeling
that I had is gone
Cause I gave it all, it's gone
And I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed
time, but it's mine

(chorus)

Over and over I
keep on telling myself
Over and over I
hope I'm gonna make up
Over and over I
know it's really happening
And there's nothing
that I can say
Cause nothing can change
all the things that
you've done to me
Nothing can make me stay

Oh cause you know
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing
the things you do?
No I cannot believe
it's you, really you

I know it's a crying shame
it's all the same to you
It seems all so well laid out
but I cannot get through
never meant it to show
It started happening
that's all you know.

Oh I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed
time, but it's mine

(chorus)

Over and over I
keep on telling myself
Over and over I
hope i'm gonna make up
But over and over I
know it's really happening
And there's nothing
that I can say
Cause nothing can change all
the things that you do to me
Nothing can make me stay

Cause you know
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing
the things you do?
No I cannot believe
it's you, really you
