Don’t Come Back in Dreams

Verse 1
I turned your picture to the wall
But I still see you in it all
Every shadow, every light
Feels like you’re here, just out of sight

Your voice is stuck inside my head
Saying words you never said
And I hate the way it feels
Like losing you’s not even real

Pre-Chorus
I keep reaching out into the dark
But you’re just a ghost inside my heart

Chorus
Don’t come back in dreams just to leave me
Don’t say the things I needed you to say
‘Cause I wake up drowning in the feeling
That you’re gone all over again

I’m breaking in places you touched me
Every memory cuts like it’s brand new
If loving you means losing me slowly
Then why do I still run back to you?

Verse 2
I tried to hate you just enough
To finally let go of your love
But even anger fades to blue
And somehow leads me back to you

Your name still burns under my skin
Like a war I’ll never win
And no one knows the hell it is
To miss someone that doesn’t exist

Pre-Chorus
If I scream, would you hear my pain?
Or am I talking to the rain?

Chorus
Don’t come back in dreams just to leave me
Don’t say the things I needed you to say
‘Cause I wake up drowning in the feeling
That you’re gone all over again

I’m breaking in places you touched me
Every memory cuts like it’s brand new
If loving you means losing me slowly
Then why do I still run back to you?

Bridge (huge power moment)
I gave you all my breath, my soul, my fire
Now I’m just ashes of a love that never stayed
You took the best of me and called it “timing”
But I’m the one who pays

(soft drop)
So tell me how to forget
When I don’t want to yet…

Final Chorus (big emotional climax)
Don’t come back in dreams just to break me
Don’t make me feel like you’re still mine
‘Cause every morning is a heartbreak
I have to relive one more time

I’m falling with nothing to catch me
No closure, no end, no truth
If loving you was my only mistake
Then why does it still feel like proof?

Outro (soft, fragile)
So don’t come back…
Unless you’re gonna stay…
…this time.
