Ghosted

Verse 1
Your jacket’s still hanging on the back of my chair
Dust on the books we swore we’d read together there
The house is quiet, but I hear your shoes on the floor
Every creak is a memory I can’t ignore

Pre-Chorus
And I swore I’d let you go
But the night knows what I know

Chorus
You’re the ghost in my room, whispering my name
Every midnight shadow still carries your flame
I keep the window cracked, hoping you’ll come through
But all I ever get is the ghost in my room

Verse 2
I talk to the walls like they’ll answer me back
Rewind the fight where you walked out, can’t change that
I light a candle, pretend that you’re here
But the wax melts down like another year

Pre-Chorus
And I swore I’d let you go
But the night knows what I know

Chorus
You’re the ghost in my room, whispering my name
Every midnight shadow still carries your flame
I keep the window cracked, hoping you’ll come through
But all I ever get is the ghost in my room

Bridge
I tried to pack your memory in a box
But it breaks the lock
Every song, every star, every sigh
Brings you back to life tonight

Final Chorus
You’re the ghost in my room, whispering my name
Every midnight shadow still carries your flame
I close the window now, I’m done with the ache
And set your ghost free with the dawn that breaks
