I close my eyes...

and you begin...

Cold sheets, empty side

Your ghost still sleeps where you once lied

Streetlights bleed through broken blinds

And paint your shape inside my mind

I hear your steps, but no one’s there

A trace of you in silent air

Your perfume lingers in the dark

Like a memory that left its mark

I try to wake, I try to run

But every night you come undone

Every night you return to me

In shadows I can’t break or see

You touch my skin, but fade away

A dream that never wants to stay

Every night you speak my name

But nothing ever feels the same

I reach for you, you disappear

Still I wait for you right here

Your eyes reflect a different time

A broken loop I can’t rewind

You smile like you never left

But vanish with my every breath

Your voice dissolves into the grey

Like fading echoes far away

I chase the night to feel you close

But lose you when the morning grows

I know it’s wrong, I know it’s fake

But I don’t want this dream to break

Every night you return to me

In shadows I can’t break or see

You touch my skin, but fade away

A dream that never wants to stay

Every night you speak my name

But nothing ever feels the same

I reach for you, you disappear

Still I wait for you right here

Are you real…

or just what I need…

to survive the silence…

You… you… you… return… return… return…

Every night…

you return…

Every night…

it burns…

Don’t wake me up...
