[Intro – airy, fragile]
If life’s a dream…
If life’s a dream…
Then why haven’t I woken up?
Why can’t you love me enough?
⸻
[Verse 1 – soft, emotional]
If life’s a dream
Then why haven’t I woken up?
The truth is losing color
And the lies keep stackin’ up.
Please don’t hide from me…
Look in my eyes and tell me who you see.
Is it the part you loved,
Or the part you had to leave?
Ooh…
Which part of me?
Tell me honestly…
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – rising, dreamy]
Here I am again, love —
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind…
I don’t wanna be alone
For the rest of my life.
Tried to bury all my sins
But they crawl back every night.
You were in control —
I held on too tight.
⸻
[Chorus – emotional release]
Mental solitude…
The way it crept in subtle.
You told me in the summer
You could never love another.
But it’s no longer true —
Now I’m waiting on a phone call,
Ask the silence: “Are you alive?”
Is this the sign
To get over you?
I love you…
Why can’t you, why can’t you be in love?
What do I do?
Why can’t you be in love?
⸻
[Verse 2 – added new lyrics, deeper emotion]
If life’s a dream,
Then why can’t I make you stay?
Why does every memory
Fade further every day?
Your shadow in my doorway,
Your name stuck in my throat —
You were all I prayed for,
You’re the ghost I fear the most.
I reached for you in daylight,
You only came in storms.
You held me when you needed heat,
Then left me when you warmed.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – reprise]
Here I am again, love —
Whispering to hope like it still survives.
If you changed your ways for me
I’d probably cry…
‘Cause then maybe
We’d still be alive.
⸻
[Chorus – fuller, layered harmonies]
Mental solitude…
I remember how it cut through.
You told me in the summer
No one else could touch you.
But that’s no longer true —
And now I’m stuck between healing
And holdin’ onto you.
Are you alive?
Or just a sign
That I need to move on?
I love you…
Why can’t you be in love?
Tell me what I do…
Why can’t you be in love?
⸻
[Bridge – soft, emotional breakdown]
I’m so, so in love with you…
Why can’t we be in love too?
If life’s a dream, then let me stay —
Let me stay with you.
Please don’t hide from me…
Please don’t fade from me…
⸻
[Final Chorus – emotional, echoing]
Mental solitude…
And the summers we both wasted.
Thought our hearts were bulletproof,
But love was never sacred.
Now I’m holding onto echoes,
Everything we never grew…
I love you…
Why can’t you love me too?
⸻
[Outro – fading, dreamlike]
If life’s a dream…
If life’s a dream…
Then don’t wake me up
If I can’t wake up with you.
