You show up in the doorway like a warning sign,
Silhouette trembling on the edge of mine.
You say my name soft like you’re telling a lie,
Every word bending just to keep me blind.
Moonlight spills on the floor like a faded bruise,
Your hands on my waist feel too good to refuse.
You pull me in close like you’ve got something to prove—
But darling, nothing you touch ever chooses you.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I chase you through the dark ‘cause I know the script,
Your shadow always stays but your body slips.
You feel like truth right before you twist…
Baby, you’re the wound that I can’t resist.
⸻
Chorus
You’re my mirage—close enough to crave,
Gone when I reach, like a wave I can’t save.
Touch me in fragments, pull me apart,
Haunt every corner you carved in my heart.
You’re my mirage—beautiful and cold,
Slippin’ through fingers that still won’t let go.
Love me in echoes, break me in light—
Fade when I need you… return when it’s night.
⸻
Verse 2
Your breath on my neck feels like borrowed heat,
A promise half-formed you’ll never repeat.
You’re velvet danger wrapped up so sweet,
A lie I know well but I still wanna keep.
We fall into patterns we swore we’d quit,
You look at me soft and I’m ruined by it.
Your love hits quiet, but it never fits—
Still I keep coming back for the ghost of it.
⸻
Bridge
If I turn away, will you disappear?
If I say “stay,” would you even hear?
You’re a truth that flickers when I get near—
Baby, some illusions are too sincere.
⸻
Final Chorus
You’re my mirage—close enough to crave,
Gone when I reach, like a wave I can’t save.
Touch me in fragments, pull me apart,
Haunt every corner you carved in my heart.
You’re my mirage—beautiful and cold,
Slippin’ through fingers that still won’t let go.
Love me in echoes, break me in light—
Fade when I need you… return when it’s night.
