[Verse 1] Is that all it was Tell me what was I feeling If it was never meant to stay Why did it cut so deep Was it love or a story We kept reading on repeat Till the pages tore Till it hollowed out my sleep [Chorus] Was it ever real ’Cause it felt so real to me Home alone all day Talking to a glowing screen No hand in my hand No one breathing next to me Was it real on my side Or just something I believed [Verse 2] Relatives in my ear Saying I’ve lost my mind “That kind of man Would never choose your life” And I still took your words Like water in a drought Now I’m choking on Every promise Every doubt [Chorus] Was it ever real ’Cause it felt so real to me Home alone all day Living off a fantasy No shoulder to lean No lips for me to meet Was it real on my side Or just something I believed [Bridge] If it was all a lie Why does it live in my chest Why does your ghost Sleep in my side of the bed Teach me how to let go Of what I never really had Make me understand So it finally hurts less [Chorus] Was it ever real ’Cause it felt so real to me I was giving you my heart You were living in a dream No real connection Just a name on a bright blue screen Was it real on my side Or just something I believed Just something I believed
