Verse 1)
Two years now, a digital screen
You're the king and I'm your queen
Every night, we talk for hours
We build a castle with no towers
FaceTime calls and whispered goodbyes
I've memorized the light in your eyes
But this dream is a house of cards
A love that's built on broken shards
(Chorus)
'Cause you're not here and I'm not there
Just a voice floating in the air
Two years of waiting, a silent vow
But I'm starting to hear another voice now
A whisper on the other line
That cuts right through this heart of mine
You don't say her name, you don't make a sound
But I know she's there, on hallowed ground
(Verse 2)
The sound of her breathing, a subtle sigh
A ghost in the room, but you don't deny
You act like she doesn't even exist
A phantom woman with a velvet fist
You're holding her close while you talk to me
I'm a fool on a wire for the world to see
I'm caught in your web, a tangled mess
A love triangle of endless stress
(Chorus)
'Cause you're not here and I'm not there
Just a voice floating in the air
Two years of waiting, a silent vow
But I'm starting to hear another voice now
A whisper on the other line
That cuts right through this heart of mine
You don't say her name, you don't make a sound
But I know she's there, on hallowed ground
(Bridge)
My mind is a prison, a twisted game
I'm stuck in this loop of burning shame
I need to let go, I need to break free
From this twisted fantasy you've sold to me
I'm just a screen, a pretty face
A digital ghost in your virtual space
While she's in your arms, living my dream
And I'm just a fool on a dying stream
(Chorus)
'Cause you're not here and I'm not there
Just a voice floating in the air
Two years of waiting, a silent vow
But I'm starting to hear another voice now
A whisper on the other line
That cuts right through this heart of mine
You don't say her name, you don't make a sound
But I know she's there, on hallowed ground
(Outro)
I'm done with this screen, I'm done with this lie
I'm closing the door and I'm saying goodbye
To the ghost of a love I thought was real
And the truth that you never wanted to reveal.
The call ends now. The line goes dead.
Just me, the silence, and a pounding in my head.
