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 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
