Because I'm Not There

Start

Intro: Synth, Deep Vocals

(Pulsating synths, soft reverb)

Mmm-mmm, yeah

Ohh, ohh

Verse 1: Deep Vocals, Synthwave Bass

I know you see me in the back of your mind

Every night when he holds you tight

But you fake a smile, yeah, you play along

Still hear my voice in your favorite song

Pre-Chorus: Falsetto, Vocal Echoes

But I know you feel it too (Too)

Late at night when he's with you (You)

You can try to run away

But my touch is here to stay

Chorus: Falsetto, Pulsating Synths

Oh, I know you still dream about me

Even when you swear that you're free

Every kiss, every touch, it ain't real, baby

'Cause you're haunted by the way it used to be

Verse 2: Deep Vocals, Gated Reverb Snare

Tell me, does he know the way you breathe?

The way you shake when you're falling deep?

I bet you close your eyes and see my face

'Cause I'm the one you can't erase

But I know you feel it too (Too)

Late at night when he's with you (You)

You can try to run away

But my touch is here to stay

Oh, I know you still dream about me

Even when you swear that you're free

Every kiss, every touch, it ain't real, baby

'Cause you're haunted by the way it used to be

(No matter where you go)

No matter who you hold

I'm running through your veins

(You can't escape my name)

Still feel me, don't you?

Still want me, don’t you?

Chorus: Falsetto, Pulsating Synths
