Letra de Imaginary - Olivia O’Brien

I pass billboards of my exes every time I'm driving home

I see that one in the movies and the other's playing shows

I can't even call them exes, they were never mine to own

I see he belongs up there now, I just had him on a loan

While I'm blinded by his name in lights

He never hears a single song I write

I only knew him in a different life

He's just a character, an archetype

I'll always be in love with an imaginary man

I hope it's never real enough for me to hold it in my hands

He'll never live up to the fantasies I wrote into my plans

I think I'd rather be in love with an imaginary man

Now the only version of myself that he will ever know

Is a frail and fragile shell of me that I've long since outgrown

While I'm blinded by his name in lights

He never hears a single song I write

I only knew him in a different life

He's just a character, an archetype

I'll always be in love with an imaginary man

I hope it's never real enough for me to hold it in my hands

He'll never live up to the fantasies I wrote into my plans

I think I'd rather be in love with an imaginary man

I'll always be in love with an imaginary man

I'm writing fiction, I'm a storyteller, maybe I'm a fan

But the reality is boring me, it's more than I can stand

I think I'd rather be in love with an imaginary man

You're not him, you'll never be

At least not in reality

It's play pretend and make-believe

Illusions, myths and fallacies

You're not him, you'll never be

I like it this way, don't you see?

I can't let you get close to me

You're not the man you're supposed to be

You're not him, you'll never be

'Cause I made him up in my dreams

And nothing's really what it seems

I don't like what's behind the scenes

You're not him, you'll never be

You don't have immortality

It's my deluded fantasy and I prefer insanity

You're not him, you'll never be, at least not in reality

It's play pretend and make-believe

Illusions, myths, fallacies

You're not him, you'll never be

I like it this way, don't you see?

I can't let you get close to me

I can't let you get close to me
