You showed up like a glitch in my lonely night
A spark in the static, a wrong that felt so right
Your smile hit my system like a sugarcoated curse
Now every beat inside my chest is getting worse
I knew from the beginning you were never mine to keep
But I still chased the daydreams that pulled me in too deep
You touched my heart like a secret I shouldn't know
A beautiful disaster wrapped in the afterglow
I tried to run away but you're rewired all my fears
Now I'm addicted to the ghost of you whispering in my ears
You're the sweetest heartbreak I can never let go
A love that blooms in shadows where the wild things grow
I'm falling for the fantasy that will never be
A bittersweet poison sinking slowly into me
You're the wish I make at midnight knowing it won't come true
But I'll keep breaking just to feel a little closer to you
We met in the moment where the universe misfired
Two lonely hearts colliding with a fate we never hired
Your touch was a promise that you never meant to give
But I held it like a lifeline just to feel alive again
Now I'm dancing with the memory of something never real
A pretty little nightmare I can't help but want to feel
Loving you is hopeless, let me drown in it tonight
Let me keep the tiny pieces where your shadow held me tight
I'll treasure every almost, every almost touch and sigh
Even if the ending is just learning how to say goodbye
You're the sweetest heartbreak I can never let go
A love that blooms in shadows where the wild things grow
I'm falling for the fantasy that will never be
A bittersweet poison sinking slowly into me
You're the wish I make at midnight knowing it won't come true
But I'll keep breaking just to feel a little closer to you
So here's to the story that we never got to write
To the love that flickered softly, then vanished from the light
I'll hold the broken pieces like they're something I can use
Because losing you still feels better than a world without you

GLITCH IN THE DARK
HIKARI
Song Introduction: GLITCH IN THE DARK
A "glitch" that appeared in a lonely night-the sweet and dangerous bad end of a first love.
Sparks like static electricity suddenly appearing in the silence. This dark pop ballad depicts two people who were never meant to meet, colliding through a cosmic malfunction (misfired), and drowning in an unattainable fantasy. Like a "sugarcoated curse" that disrupts the system, it dramatically portrays the trajectory of hearts drawn together by an irresistible force and breaking apart.
The highlight is the "sweet whisper voice" that melts into your ear, expressing the fear of being rewired without even realizing it, and the dependency of still seeking that "ghost." A midnight wish that will never come true, and a painful craving to get closer to the other person even if it breaks oneself. The breathy vocals allow that "bittersweet poison" to permeate the listener's subconscious.
"Even the pain of losing you is much better than a world without you." A story that was never written, vanished from the light. Clutching broken fragments like treasures, this is a transgressive yet incredibly pure song about throwing oneself into a love that blooms in the shadows.
