(Intimate piano intro, soft vocal) [Verse 1] You were on my skin Like heat that wouldn’t fade Your name on my lips Every word I couldn’t say Your shape in the sheets Like you just stepped outside I reach through the dark Still half dreaming Still believing You’re mine ⸻ [Chorus] When I wake up You were never there Just the weight of a pillow And your ghost in the air I’m holding a memory Like it’s somebody real And my heart keeps breaking Over something I can’t feel I swear I still hear you Breathing next to my bed And it hurts like you left me But you lived in my head ⸻ [Verse 2] Your laugh in the hallway I swear that it’s real I turn on the light And the silence just kills Two glasses by the sink But I’m drinking alone I keep chasing your shadow Through a house that’s not home I say your name softly Like you might still appear But I’m begging a dream That was never here ⸻ [Chorus] When I wake up You were never there Just the weight of a pillow And your ghost in the air I’m holding a memory Like it’s somebody real And my heart keeps breaking Over something I can’t feel I swear I still hear you Breathing next to my bed And it hurts like you left me But you lived in my head ⸻ [Bridge] I built you from pieces Of every lonely night Every almost love Every maybe this time Now morning comes in And it tears you away And I’m grieving somebody Who was never made ⸻ (whisper) you lived in my head… ⸻ [Final Chorus – Big Emotional Build] When I wake up You’re still not there Just the cold side of the bed And a life that’s unfair I fell in love with someone I made when I was lonely And the cruelest part is You felt real to me So I whisper goodnight To the space by my head But you lived in my head
