[Verse] I saw reflections in the haze at night A life that shimmered then slipped from sight Your shadow blending into broken skies A fleeting whisper before it dies [Verse 2] The world was quiet as we lost our way Endless echoes pulling us astray Each step we took dissolved into the air Chasing a dream that was never there [Chorus] It was a mirage a light breaking apart An illusion built on the ache in my heart I reached for the ghost that we couldn’t sustain A phantom of love that only left pain [Bridge] We danced in circles truths never confessed The smoke and mirrors our hearts undressed A fragile tether too thin to bind Where hope diminishes and blinds the mind [Verse 3] The stars seemed closer though out of reach Like silent candles on a distant beach Lost in the shimmer of a fractured glow Holding on tight to what I’ll never know [Chorus] It was a mirage a light breaking apart An illusion built on the ache in my heart I reached for the ghost that we couldn’t sustain A phantom of love that only left pain
