Phantom in a Song Lyrics

You were never real
You were a lover in a song I made up
You were just a fantasy to fit my melody
You stepped out of the song
Entertained me for a while
I knew the song would end
I′ll never sing it with a smile

You were a phantom in a song
That's all you are to me
A name in a poem to fill the spaces
A phantom in a son
I dreamt you for a while
Now we′re just two empty faces

Sitting in my room
Dreaming up this song
You were just a silhouette that wouldn't last too long
Now the tears are gone
No more tears to cry
Nothing more to add
Just a musical goodbye

You jumped off the pages
Stayed for a while
I was just fooling myself
A one-sided love affair
That's all it was
I couldn′t see the truth from the lies

You haunt me in a dream
I can see your eyes
Even in a dream, you′re a silly, feign disguise
Now you've disappeared
I knew that it would end
I was fooling myself
It was all pretend

Gave you all my love
I thought you felt the same
You left me all alone
This was just a silly game
I put you in a song
You were just a fantasy
Maybe I can sing away this heartache for me

You were a phantom in a song
That′s all you are to me
A name in a poem to fill the spaces
A phantom in a song
I dreamt you for a while
Now we're just two empty faces

Now we′re just two empty faces
