Who Is He Kissing?

[Verse 1]
You say my name like it still feels right
But something’s changed in the way you hold me at night
Your eyes drift somewhere I can’t reach
Like there’s a memory standing between you and me

[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m lying here next to you
But I don’t know who you’re dreaming of

[Chorus]
Who is he kissing… when he closes his eyes?
Is it me in this moment… or someone from another life?
Am I just filling spaces she left behind?
Or am I the one you’re holding this time?

Tell me the truth… don’t let me guess
When your lips find mine…
who are you kissing then?


[Verse 2]
There’s a ghost in the silence when you pull away
Like her name’s still echoing in things you don’t say
I try to be strong, try not to break
But love shouldn’t feel like a role I have to fake

[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m scared to ask you straight
‘Cause I might not survive the answer you’d say


[Chorus]
Who is he kissing… when he closes his eyes?
Is it me in this moment… or your ex in disguise?
Am I just a shadow of what you lost?
Or the one you’re choosing, no matter the cost?

Tell me the truth… don’t let me guess
When your lips find mine…
who are you kissing then?


[Bridge]
I don’t wanna compete with a memory
I don’t wanna beg for what should come naturally
If I’m here… then see me, don’t pretend
I won’t be her… I won’t be them


[Final Chorus]
Who is he kissing… when he says my name?
Is it love in the present… or a past you can’t erase?
I won’t stay where I’m second in your mind
I deserve a love that’s fully mine

So tell me the truth… before I leave
When your lips touch mine…
are you really kissing me?
