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

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
