Heart-Shaped Hologram Lyrics

I lie awake when I'm alone
And I picture us
I dance with your mirage
Oh, I keep forgetting
You're somewhere else with someone real
You're laughing in their arms
While I'm in the dark
I don't know why

I keep you in this heart-shaped hologram
Oh, I take you everywhere I am
It almost seems like you're with me
Even though a heart-shaped hologram
Could never love me back or hold my hand
I still don't know how to let you go

I miss the way it used to feel
When you reach for me
Was that just make-believe?
Oh, I keep forgetting
I close my eyes, and you appear
Like you're my favorite dream
This can't be good for me
I don't know why

I keep you in this heart-shaped hologram
Oh, I take you everywhere I am
It almost seems like you're with me
Even though a heart-shaped hologram
Could never love me back or hold my hand
I still don't know how to let you go

I say I don't need anybody
I keep you with me like a ghost
But what if I'm just terrified
I might not even know
What to do with someone who
Could love me back for real

I keep you in a heart-shaped hologram
I take you everywhere I am
It almost seems like you're with me
Even though a heart-shaped hologram
Could never love me back or hold my hand
I still don't know how to let you go

Cover art for Heart-Shaped Hologram lyrics by Stephanie Mabey

This song eithers associates with loss of a significant other in terms of a more alive state, being that this talks about;

"You're somewhere else with someone real You're laughing in their arms While I'm in the dark,"

This is very obvious about the other person moving on, while the chorus goes on about the Heart-Shaped Hologram, being metaphorical about nostalgia and not moving on;

"I keep you in a heart-shaped hologram I take you everywhere I am It almost seems like you're with me Even though a heart-shaped hologram Could never love me back or hold my hand I still don't know how to let you go,"

The titular Hologram is the singer reliving memories and generally clinging onto them, being quite lost in how to actually let this go. It is not literally a hologram, just the idea and memory of a person.
