Have you ever lived in a shadow
Yesterday's forgotten son
Spent time trying to disappear
While other kids had fun
Can you see me now, Dad
All hail the family joke
You never took me seriously
Never heard me when I spoke
I'm just an illusion
Can you see me now, Dad
Your little magic boy is trying
I need to hear your voice
Can you hear me now, Dad
I need to hear you love me
I need to hear you love me
And know I'm doing the best I can
You've never taken interest
In anything I've ever done
Lindsay never tried this hard
To try to be the one
You loved with all your heart,
Could never do wrong
It's sad I had to write this in a song
I don't even get a free banana
Can you see me now, Dad
Your little magic boy is trying
I need to hear your voice
Can you hear me now, Dad
I need to hear you love me
I need to hear you love me
And know I'm doing the best I can
It's sad I had to write this in a song
I don't even get a free banana
Can you see me now, Dad
Your little magic boy is trying
I need to hear your voice
Can you hear me now, Dad
I need to hear you love me
I need to hear you love me
And know I'm doing the best I can
These aren't tricks, they're illusions
These aren't tricks, they're illusions
