(Verse 1)
I saw you smile
With someone new
I played it cool
But it cut right through
I laughed too loud
To hide the ache
You're not mine
And that won’t change
(Verse 2)
You shine too bright
I'm just a glow
You never saw
The me below
I prayed at night
To switch the stars
To be the girl
Inside your heart
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m sorry for the thoughts I think
Like hoping she’d just fade and sink
I know it’s wrong, but pain runs deep
And some nights I can’t even sleep
(Chorus)
Maybe in another life
I'm your fire, I'm your light
Maybe I'm the one you choose
Not the one you had to lose
Maybe there, I’m not too late
You don’t look the other way
If not here, then let it be
Another life where you love me
(Verse 3)
I begged the stars
To break for me
I told the moon
To set me free
I asked for death
In silent cries
When loving you
Became goodbye
(Verse 4)
You owe me nothing
Never did
But I still hoped
You’d see the kid
The girl who stayed
When no one would
The one who burned
For your own good
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Forgive me for the cruelest dreams
For every whispered selfish scheme
I wanted fate to fall apart
Just so you'd need my broken heart
(Chorus 2)
Maybe in another life
You don’t run, you don’t hide
Maybe I’m the breath you keep
Not the ghost who couldn’t speak
Maybe there, you know it too
What I lost, was always you
If not now, then let it be
Another life where you love me
(Bridge)
I’d trade my skin
I’d change my name
To feel your hands
To share your flame
I'd rewrite fate
I’d bleed the stars
To be the one
Inside your arms
(Final Chorus)
Maybe in another life
I’m the truth behind your eyes
Maybe I’m the voice you hear
Not the echo drowned in fear
Maybe there, we both are whole
You don’t leave—I’m not alone
If not this world, please let it be
Another life where you love me
(Outro – whispered)
If you ever feel a ghost
That loves you more than most
That’s just me…
In the life we never got to see.
