Ghost

Verse 1
You left the coffee on the counter cold
Your jacket gone, but the room still holds
The shape of you in every chair
Like you disappeared but stayed somewhere

I read the silence like a note you wrote
Every empty hallway clears your throat
I keep hearing footsteps in the dark
But it’s just the echo in my heart

Pre-Chorus
You didn’t slam the door
You didn’t start a fight
You vanished like a thief
And took my sleep that night

Chorus
You left like a ghost, no warning, no sound
One breath you were here, then you weren’t around
No goodbye kiss, no tears, no reason to know
Just sheets full of your perfume and a heart full of holes
Now I’m talking to shadows, begging what I can’t hold
You left like a ghost
And left me cold

Verse 2
I replay every second for a clue
Was there a storm behind the smile you used?
Did I miss cracks inside your eyes
While I was busy calling us alive?

Your picture’s facedown on the shelf tonight
Still somehow judging how I lost my mind
I hate that I would take you back
Even after all this damage left

Pre-Chorus
You didn’t say a word
You didn’t let me try
You stole the chance to heal
The day you chose to hide

Chorus
You left like a ghost, no warning, no sound
One breath you were here, then you weren’t around
No goodbye kiss, no tears, no reason to know
Just sheets full of your perfume and a heart full of holes
Now I’m talking to shadows, begging what I can’t hold
You left like a ghost
And left me cold

Bridge
Maybe I was easy to erase
Maybe love to you was just a place
You stayed until the lights burned low
Then slipped out where I’d never know

But if haunting means you still remain
Why am I the one who feels the chains?

Final Chorus / Outro
You left like a ghost, no warning, no sound
Turned all of our forever upside down
No final fight, no scene, no mercy to show
Just your name in my throat and nowhere to go
Now I’m kissing the memory, tasting the smoke
You left like a ghost
And I’m still home
Alone
With your ghost
