"Dreams instead of us"

[Verse 1] I flip through the manga pages where you’re the hero, Your silhouette fades into the morning light. Between us — a screen, a hundred strangers’ stories, And no chance to be close in this world tonight. You fight so bravely, you don’t see my tears, I whisper your name into the empty silence here. The world has set such cruel and strange decrees: You live in another dimension, across the seas. [Pre‑Chorus] The clock hands freeze, the city dims its lights, I close my eyes — and we’re alone again tonight. It’s just a dream, it’s just a mirage, I know, But in this dream you take my hand so softly — that’s the show. [Chorus] This tragic love is like shattered glass, We won’t meet in reality — it was never meant to last. But while I sleep, you’re here, you look into my eyes, In this fragile dream we can love without end, no lies. Morning will come — and you’ll vanish once again, Leaving me just a shadow I can’t hold, can’t claim. [Verse 2] Your battles, enemies, vows and promises so bold, All of that’s there, where I don’t belong in your story told. I gather the shards of my hopes, as if I could repair, As if I could glue back what’s long gone, what’s not there. You smile like you know a secret, deep inside, Like you feel me reaching through the screens, trying to slide. But the laws of worlds won’t give us years to share, Just brief moments in someone else’s dreams and air. [Pre‑Chorus] The clock hands freeze again, the city’s wrapped in dark, I run through the pages just to be with you, don’t stop. It’s just an illusion, a fragile, thin light, But in this dream you whisper, “I’m waiting for the dawn too, it’s alright.” [Chorus] This tragic love is like shattered glass, We won’t meet in reality — it was never meant to last. But while I sleep, you’re here, you look into my eyes, In this fragile dream we can love without end, no lies. Morning will come — and you’ll vanish once again, Leaving me just a shadow I can’t hold, can’t claim. [Bridge] Maybe in another universe, a different twist of the tale, We’ll meet on a street, in the rain, with no need to explain. Maybe there’ll be no screens, no borders, no pages to turn, There we could just be — no goodbyes, no need to burn. For now, there’s only dreams, only whispers in the dark, I keep this moment as the dearest thing in my heart. [Chorus] This tragic love is like shattered glass, We won’t meet in reality — it was never meant to last. But while I sleep, you’re here, you look into my eyes, In this fragile dream we can love without end, no lies. Morning will come — and you’ll vanish once again, But I’ll wait again, just to hold you in the night once more. [Outro] Another day, another page to read, Another hope that the dream will come true indeed. I’ll close my eyes… We’re together again. Just for a moment. Just in a dream.
