But In My Dreams

Verse 1 The house still knows the sound of you Every floorboard breathes your name I’ve learned to live with missing pieces With days that all feel the same I don’t curse fate or what we were I don’t fight how it had to be It doesn’t hurt that you’re not beside me It’s the forever that cripples me Pre-Chorus I carry on, I smile when needed But grief is patient, grief is kind Chorus (brighter, melodic) But in my dreams, in my dreams I finally see you again You smile like nothing was taken Like loss never reached us then For a moment the world is gentle For a moment I can pretend That love still breathes between us And I’m whole again Verse 2 Mornings arrive without mercy Night leaves me nothing to hold I miss the way you looked at me Like I was something worth gold I can accept the distance I can accept the end But I can’t accept a lifetime Where I won’t see you again Pre-Chorus So I wait for sleep like mercy Like a door that opens home Chorus (repeat – slightly fuller) But in my dreams, in my dreams I finally see you again No fear hanging in the silence No weight in what might’ve been For a moment I’m not broken For a moment I can breathe You’re alive inside the feeling Of what we used to be Bridge (soft → emotional peak) I know the dream will fade by morning I know the light won’t stay But I would trade a thousand tomorrows For one more night that way Final Chorus (warmest, most hopeful) But in my dreams, in my dreams I finally see you again And even if it’s only a shadow Even if it has to end For that moment I am thankful For that moment I am free Because love still finds a way to live When you come back to me Outro So I close my eyes without fear Let the darkness pull me in If waking means learning to lose you Then dreaming is where I begin
