In Another Life - Crown The Empire, Courtney LaPlante

I close my eyes but I still see

I’m hollow

A phantom floating in between

Until I fall asleep

I’m fabricating

My lucid dream

I feel your presence

But you’re out of reach

Your silhouette’s all around

It lives inside my head

Am I awake or is this a dream?

The lights flicker in the hall

And then you’re gone again

Nothing was ever the same

And in another life

I would’ve built up my walls around you

Lived to hold you, yeah

And in another life

I could’ve carried us home

To be what we wanted to

Looming over me

Your shadow

Hides behind every face I see

And I can’t tell what is make believe

I’ve tried pretending

You’re what I need

This house is haunted

But it’s part of me

Your silhouette’s all around

It lives inside my head

Am I awake or is this a dream?

The lights flicker in the hall

And then you’re gone again

Nothing was ever the same

And in another life

I would’ve built up my walls around you

Lived to hold you, yeah

And in another life

I could’ve carried us home

To be what we wanted to

All I can see

All I have known are memories

Can feel the hole in my heart

Still chasing ghosts in the dark

All I can say

All I have known just fades away

Wish I could be where you are

Never thought I’d end up so far

Dead to me

Tear down the pieces of what remains

You’ll never go away

When the walls are caving

I’ll bury your name

And erase all my memories

Your silhouette’s not around

It lived inside my head

The lights flicker in the hall

But they won’t shine again

Dead to me
