[Female Vocals Only] [Proper pronunciation] [Good vocal chain] [Verse 1 - melodic singing] I see you there, just a glance, like you looked my way, Every time you smile, it lights up my day. In my mind, we’re close, like friends do, Laughin' and talkin', just me and you. Can almost feel your hand in mine, Walkin’ side by side, everything’s fine. I tell myself you see me too, That I’m more than just one in the crowd to you. [Pre-Chorus - melodic singing] But when the lights go down and the world feels right, I drift to a place where we’re side by side. In the warmth of a moment, my heart’s alive, Then comes the truth that I can’t deny. [Chorus - catchy and melodic singing] When reality bites, it stings, it’s true, The closer I dream, the farther from you. Just a face in the crowd, lost in the night, Holding onto a feeling that’ll never feel right. But I’ll keep dreaming that's all I have inside... Even though...reality bites. [slow and smooth turntable scratches] (cuts deep in my soul) (You don’t know my name, you don’t know at all) [Verse 2] I watch you from afar, like we’re worlds away, But in my head, it’s like we’re close every day. Sharing secrets, a laugh, just you and me, Wrapped in a bond nobody can see. Moments feel so real, like you know I’m here, But I snap back, and it all disappears. Guess that’s the price of dreaming too high, When the truth hits, and it’s hard to deny. [Pre-Chorus 2] So I build these walls, yeah, a castle of dreams, Where you’re more than a face on my phone screen. But walls come down, and I’m left alone, Facing the truth that’s always been known. [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge - Smooth Rap] In my head, we got memories that don’t exist, I’m holdin’ onto moments that I just can’t resist. You’re a star in my sky, shinin’ outta reach, But the closer I get, the more I see. Every look, every smile I thought you’d saved for me, Just a fantasy wrapped up in melody. I’m talkin’ to a mirror, tryna keep it real, But you’re a shadow in my world I’ll never feel. Thinkin’ maybe one day, I’ll hear you call my name, But it’s crazy to think I’m part of your fame. A ghost in your crowd, lost in the lights, And when the show’s over, I fade out of sight. I’m a passenger here, in a one-way dream, Just ridin’ the waves of what we’ll never be. But that’s the weight of a fantasy’s price, When I’m woken up cold, and reality bites. [Repeat Chorus] (I’m lost in a dream, one I made my own,) (But I wake up to find I’m still here alone)
