Verse 1
I fall asleep inside a scene
Where everything is cinematic, clean
He knows my name before I speak
Says all the things I wish were real to me
I replay moments I don’t have
Close my eyes and they come back
Perfect timing, perfect lines
A love that only lives inside my mind
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I know it’s fake, I know it’s made
But it feels better than the real thing anyway
⸻
Chorus
‘Cause it’s better in my head
Where I’m wanted, where I’m read
Where he looks at me like I’m
Everything he’s ever needed
And I hate that I’d rather stay
In a world I had to create
Than face the fact that real life love
Has never felt the same
⸻
Verse 2
I learn his face from different eyes
Different boys, same perfect lines
A little bit of every one
Built into somebody I’ve never met
And I know it’s not fair to compare
Real people to what isn’t there
But how do I come back down
When nothing real feels close to that now?
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I try to stop, I try to leave
But it’s the only place I feel what I need
⸻
Chorus
‘Cause it’s better in my head
Where I’m chosen, where I’m kept
Where I’m never second-guessed
Never “almost,” never left
And I hate that I’d rather stay
In a world I had to create
Than sit in rooms where I feel like
I’m too much to be loved that way
⸻
Bridge (soft, vulnerable)
Maybe I’m not in love with them
Maybe I’m in love with feeling seen
And if that only happens there
What does that say about me?
⸻
Final Chorus (stripped → emotional)
But it’s safer in my head
Where no one leaves, no one forgets
Where I don’t have to question if
I’m someone they’d regret
Still I wish it could be real
The way it looks, the way it feels
Not just something I escape to
But something I can actually live
