Phantom in a Song
You were never real
You were a lover in a song I made up
You were just a fantasy to fit my melody
You stepped out of the song
Entertained me for a while
I knew the song would end
I'll never sing it with a smile
You were a phantom in a song
That's all you are to me
A name in a poem to fill the spaces
A phantom in a son
I dreamt you for a while
Now we're just two empty faces
Sitting in my room
Dreaming up this song
You were just a silhouette that wouldn't last too long
Now the tears are gone
No more tears to cry
Nothing more to add
Just a musical goodbye
You jumped off the pages
Stayed for a while
I was just fooling myself
A one-sided love affair
That's all it was
I couldn't see the truth from the lies
You haunt me in a dream
I can see your eyes
Even in a dream, you're a silly, feign disguise
Now you've disappeared
I knew that it would end
I was fooling myself
It was all pretend
Gave you all my love
I thought you felt the same
You left me all alone
This was just a silly game
I put you in a song
You were just a fantasy
Maybe I can sing away this heartache for me
You were a phantom in a song
That's all you are to me
A name in a poem to fill the spaces
A phantom in a song
I dreamt you for a while
Now we're just two empty faces
Now we're just two empty faces
You were a lover in a song I made up
You were just a fantasy to fit my melody
You stepped out of the song
Entertained me for a while
I knew the song would end
I'll never sing it with a smile
You were a phantom in a song
That's all you are to me
A name in a poem to fill the spaces
A phantom in a son
I dreamt you for a while
Now we're just two empty faces
Sitting in my room
Dreaming up this song
You were just a silhouette that wouldn't last too long
Now the tears are gone
No more tears to cry
Nothing more to add
Just a musical goodbye
You jumped off the pages
Stayed for a while
I was just fooling myself
A one-sided love affair
That's all it was
I couldn't see the truth from the lies
You haunt me in a dream
I can see your eyes
Even in a dream, you're a silly, feign disguise
Now you've disappeared
I knew that it would end
I was fooling myself
It was all pretend
Gave you all my love
I thought you felt the same
You left me all alone
This was just a silly game
I put you in a song
You were just a fantasy
Maybe I can sing away this heartache for me
You were a phantom in a song
That's all you are to me
A name in a poem to fill the spaces
A phantom in a song
I dreamt you for a while
Now we're just two empty faces
Now we're just two empty faces
