Phantom in a Song

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 song

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 cellophane 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
