I Cannot Believe It's True Songtext
von Phil Collins

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
Oh, do 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
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
Oh, do 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

Over and over, I keep on telling myself
Over and over, I hope I'm gonna wake 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've done to me
Nothing can make me stay

Ooh, '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


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

Over and over, I keep on telling myself
Over and over, I hope I'm gonna wake 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′ve done 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
