Mirage

Mirage
(Verse 1)
I saw you there in the desert light,
A vision so clear, it felt so right.
I reached for you, with trembling hands,
But you slipped through like shifting sands.
(Verse 2)
I thought I’d found something worth the fight,
A dream that could turn the darkest night.
But when I ran, you faded away,
Like smoke in the wind, you couldn’t stay.
(Chorus)
You were a mirage, a fleeting illusion,
A love that seemed real, but was just confusion.
I chased you down, but you disappeared,
Now I’m lost in the desert, left with my fears.
(Verse 3)
The closer I got, the farther you moved,
A game of pretend that I couldn’t prove.
I thought you were the truth I’d been searching for,
But you were a lie that I couldn’t ignore.
(Bridge – more emotional, building intensity, slight instrumental break)
Was it all just a dream in the dead of the night?
A picture I painted in the pale moonlight.
You were a shadow I couldn’t hold,
A story that never could be told.
(Chorus – louder, more intense)
You were a mirage, a fleeting illusion,
A love that seemed real, but was just confusion.
I chased you down, but you disappeared,
Now I’m lost in the desert, left with my fears.
(Outro – fading out, with a sense of resignation)
You were a mirage, just out of my reach,
A lesson I learned, but it cut too deep.
Now I know, you were never real,
Just a vision, a dream, that I couldn’t feel.
