SOBER DREAMS (Intro – whispered / melodic) Yeah… Late nights, dark days… Almost lost me, but you saved me… Yeah, yeah… ⸻ Verse 1 Fell in deep, lost my way, it’s a dark road I tread, A melting hit whispers sweet nothings, but it’s filling my head, Every hit’s a promise, but it’s a lie I believe, I’m losing my grip, babe, my heart’s on a sleeve. (yeah, yeah) Tryna smile in the mirror but I don’t recognize me All these demons in my phone, but they don’t really like me Heartbeat racing like sirens in the street Every “one more time” tryna put me to sleep ⸻ Pre-Chorus Late nights and regrets trapped under a haze, But your love’s a calling, breaking through the maze, Thought I was flying, but I was just falling, You need the best of me, babe, and I hear you calling. (callin’, callin’) You said “stay here,” don’t fade out I said “one day,” now it’s right now ⸻ Chorus So I say goodbye to the chains that bind me, Found a light in you, and it’s so damn shiny, Fingers on the trigger, and I’m ready to change, ‘Cause I need you, girl, not this drug-soaked faze. (yeah) Need your love, not numb Need your touch, not run Need your heart, not high Need your arms, not lies ⸻ Verse 2 Nights spent tangled, I was caught in a sea, But your voice pulls me back; from getting to deep, Can’t let this addiction steal away what’s ours, I’ll climb every mountain, I’ll reach for the stars. (yeah, yeah) Every sunrise feel like I won Every sober day feel like I won I don’t wanna die with regrets in my lungs I just wanna live in your love till I’m done ⸻ Bridge (melodic / slow) Your perfume on my hoodie, your name in my prayers Every time you touch me I remember I’m here Your lips say “stay,” your eyes say “don’t go” Your body talks soft, but your heart says “home” I don’t need smoke, I don’t need pills I get light-headed off the way you feel Your fingers on my scars like a healing spell You don’t just love me — you know me well ⸻ Final Chorus So I say goodbye to the chains that bind me, Found a light in you, and it’s so damn shiny, Fingers on the trigger, and I’m ready to change, ‘Cause I need you, girl, not this drug-soaked faze. (yeah, yeah) You my reason I breathe You the best part of me You my sober dream You my everything ⸻ (AD-LIB BREAK — raw shout, beat drops) “I LOVE SHMOOooo!”…. (echo… reverb tails… silence…) ⸻ Outro So when the lights are low and the world feels far And your head finds home on my restless heart I’ll breathe you in like a second chance Slow kiss promises, slow hands If heaven’s real, I don’t need proof I already found it layin’ next to you I don’t need numb, I don’t need gone I just need you till the break of dawn Yeah… I don’t hate love. I just hate what almost took me from you. 🖤
