The track delves into themes of lingering memories and emotional uncertainty, offering a song that blends ethereal melodies with introspective lyrics.

In her own words, Sam Cruz explains, “‘Was It Just A Dream?’ is about holding onto the memories of someone even after they’re gone, and questioning whether what you had was ever real or if it only felt that way because of how deeply you loved them.” She further elaborates, “It’s that in-between space of nostalgia and denial—when you’re haunted by the little things that remind you of a person, and you can’t tell if it was love or just a dream you don’t want to wake up from.”

Perfect for anyone grappling with the ghosts of past relationships, “Was It Just A Dream?” captures the haunting memory of unresolved feelings. Stay tuned to Sam Cruz’s evolving musical journey by following her and Diorama FM on all social media platforms.


Was It Just A Dream?

Sam Cruz

Verse 1:

passing by your old place with the porch light on (thinking of you)

thinking how we stayed up talking until dawn

every little thing reminds me that you’re not here but it still feels so close

every little thing reminds me you were near

(wish u were here)

Chorus:

was it just a dream

the way we used to be

(in my mind)

u were all i need

the way used to be

Verse 2:

driving through the city with the radio low (thinking ‘bout us)

thinking ’bout the nights you never let me go

(let me go let me go let me goooo)

every single day I’m haunted by the feeling (’cause it never left)

every single day I wonder if you’re healing

(are u healing now?)

Chorus 2:

was it just a dream

the way we used to be

(in my mind)

u were all i need

the way you looked at me

was it just a dream

you are all i see

was it just a dream

you are all i see
