I didn’t want to see the truth while it stood in front of me
Every night I pushed aside the impossibility
Where’s she going, I don’t know, but it’s nothing I can stand
At home beside the phone trying to come up with a plan

I want to believe
I want to believe that she’s true

When I found out my heart broke and I began to sink
It was all written in invisible ink

Last night I followed her home to see where she would go
I kept my distance far enough so she wouldn’t ever know
Over the bridge and up past the hill to the end of Oakdale Street
She entered the house, hung up her coat and kissed him on the cheek

I want to believe
I want to believe this isn’t true

When I found out my heart broke and I began to sink
It was all written in invisible ink

I barged in to confront them both
I yelled that I had declared an oath
Who’s this guy questioned her man
A guy from the diner, I guess one of my stans, she said

I didn’t want to see the truth while it stood in front of me
The person I had fallen for - was I really nobody?

I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe this isn’t true

When I found out my heart broke and I began to sink
It was all written in invisible ink

When I found out my heart broke and I began to sink
Our love was all written in invisible ink

I like this chorus. It doesn’t soar but it does rise over the verses very nicely. The piano sounds good. I like the drums quite a bit, not too flashy but works great with the song. This is mixed pretty darn well. That’s a tasty harmony at the end of the bridge. This is a solid song with good performances and a pretty darn good arrangement.
Lyric: I like the rhythm in the lyric on the page quite a bit. I’m not sure how I feel about the twist, how it’s written/relayed.

I appreciate the idea of changing up styles. Nice backup vocals. Something seems a little off in the harmony in the second and final choruses. The lyrics are ok, I don't love the "one of my stans" lines, the sudden use of "modern" slang like that felt out of place. I like the guitar solo, the tone and effects on it are good, although I don't love the tapping downward bend ending, it sounds a little pitchy and maybe not a great fit for the song. Nice idea bringing in the synth for the final chorus. Good dramatic ending with the piano flourishes.
