Verse 1
We were just friends, that’s how it was supposed to stay,
Laughin’ in the late nights, talkin’ ‘bout our better days.
Then you leaned in closer, said you felt something new,
And I believed every word that came from you.
You pulled me in, no hesitation in your eyes,
Made me feel chosen, made me feel alive.
But you were holdin’ secrets underneath your breath,
I didn’t know I was walkin’ toward the aftermath.
Pre-Chorus
You had your reasons, but you never let me see,
The truth you buried underneath your sheets.
Chorus
You sweet-talked me into something that should’ve never been,
Just a one-night moment dressed up like forever then.
You left me standin’ here while you ran back to him—
Like I was nothin’ more than a story you’d just end.
And now I’m pickin’ up the pieces where my heart should be,
Wonderin’ why I ever thought you’d ride or die for me.
Guess the love I hoped for wasn’t ever meant to be…
Just a dream to me.
Verse 2
Woke up the next day feelin’ something real,
Didn’t think I’d lose you to a love you couldn’t kill.
I wasn’t your forever—just your in-between,
A place to land when you were fallin’ off your scene.
You said you felt a spark, but I guess sparks fade,
Soon as he called you back, you walked away.
Should’ve told the truth instead of lettin’ me believe
In something you were never gonna keep.
Pre-Chorus
I gave you honesty, you gave me uncertainty,
And now your ghost is still lying next to me.
Chorus
You sweet-talked me into something that should’ve never been,
Just a one-night moment dressed up like forever then.
You left me standin’ here while you ran back to him—
Like I was nothin’ more than a story you’d just end.
And now I’m pickin’ up the pieces where my heart should be,
Wonderin’ why I ever thought you’d ride or die for me.
Guess the love I hoped for wasn’t ever meant to be…
Just a dream to me.
Bridge
Maybe I should’ve walked away,
Maybe you should’ve told me straight—
You were only lookin’ for a place to hide your pain.
But I fell anyway.
Now I’m left with the memories,
Tryin’ to wash you outta me,
But the truth hits harder than the night you left
Without a reason, without a breath.
Final Chorus
You sweet-talked me into something that should’ve never been,
Just a one-night moment painted like a happy end.
You went runnin’ back to someone who broke you once again—
Leaving me wondering why I wasn’t worth the win.
And now I’m learnin’ how to stand where you left me,
Realizin’ love ain’t always what it seems to be.
Maybe someday someone’s gonna ride or die for me…
But for now, you’re just a dream,
Yeah… just a dream to me.
