[Verse]
Every night she walks through the dark
A shadow painted in my heart
Her voice a whisper I can't hold
A memory that never grows old
[Prechorus]
I reach
I reach
But she’s not there
Just silence hanging in the air
[Chorus]
She's always in my dreams
But never in my life
A ghost I can't embrace
A wound that holds the knife
I call her name
I call her name
But it fades like smoke
Like smoke in rain
[Verse 2]
I see her smile but can't reply
Her laughter fades
A hollow sigh
Her eyes are stars that burn too far
A wish I made on a broken star
[Bridge]
What would I say if I had the chance
Would words undo this haunted dance
Would she hear me
Would she care
Or am I just chasing empty air
[Chorus]
She's always in my dreams
But never in my life
A ghost I can't embrace
A wound that holds the knife
I call her name
I call her name
But it fades like smoke
Like smoke in rain
