I still reach for you in my sleep Like you’re lying next to me But the sheets are cold, the room is bright And I remember— you’re not mine I wear your name like jewelry It shines, but it cuts my skin Everyone says I’m doing fine They don’t know what’s underneath ‘Cause I’m smiling for the camera While I’m breaking in the dark I’m a masterpiece of makeup With a bruise around my heart It’s phantom pain Hurting in a place that isn’t there Screaming in a silent prayer Missing what I can’t explain It’s phantom pain Like a song I never get to sing Like a bell without a ring Like I’m holding air again Yeah, it’s phantom pain I watch myself from far away Like I’m someone I should know In the mirror she’s okay But I’m shaking in the glow They love the version that I made They love the polish, love the shine But some nights I want to take it off And find the piece I left behind And I’m dancing for the spotlight While I’m fading in the back If you touch me, would you feel it? Or just the outline of the act? It’s phantom pain Hurting in a place that isn’t there Screaming in a silent prayer Missing what I can’t explain It’s phantom pain Like a song I never get to sing Like a bell without a ring Like I’m holding air again Yeah, it’s phantom pain If I told you I’m afraid Would you hold me or run? If I opened up the door Would you love who I was? I’m not asking to be saved I’m just asking to be seen ‘Cause the loudest kind of heartbreak Is the one that no one believes It’s phantom pain Hurting in a place that isn’t there Screaming in a silent prayer Missing what I can’t explain It’s phantom pain Like a song I never get to sing Like a bell without a ring Like I’m holding air again Yeah, it’s phantom pain I’m holding air again… But it still hurts the same.
