The Man I Invented

The man I invented in my mind He wears your face He shares your eyes He whispers all the pretty things you won't send my way And smiles at things I'll never say The man I invented Thanks to him all other romance has ended The man I invented in my mind The man I invented in my mind He's down the street He rides this line I can't help stumbling into him all over town I'll miss him and he's suddenly around The man I invented By him I'm glad to be tormented The man I invented in my mind The man I invented in my mind I give to him all that you declined I'm wasting all my hours away talking to him Conversations you and I just won't begin The man I invented What I feel for you he augmented The man I invented Though it's you that I've lamented The man I invented in my mind
