Ghost In This House

[Verse 1]
Coffee cup ring on the counter
Her lipstick stain still there
Closet full of Sunday dresses
Dust on every chair
Mailbox full of her old catalogs
Name still on the glass
I swear I hear her humming
Every time I walk past

[Chorus]
I’m a ghost in this house
Living in the walls of our old life
I move through these rooms
She moves through my mind
Her shadow on the hallway, her laughter in the shower
Every midnight memory still hanging like a shroud
I’m breathing, but I’m broken
Just a ghost in this house

[Verse 2]
Her Bible’s on the bedside table
Bookmark on a prayer
Her note that says “be back by Sunday”
Wind keeps lifting in the air
That porch light keeps on burning
For a truck that won’t return
I’m pacing like a stranger
In a place that still hurts

[Chorus]
I’m a ghost in this house
Living in the walls of our old life
I move through these rooms
She moves through my mind
Her shadow on the hallway, her laughter in the shower
Every midnight memory still hanging like a shroud
I’m breathing, but I’m broken
Just a ghost in this house

[Bridge]
Maybe time will turn these pictures
Into faces I don’t know
But I still talk out loud at dinner
Set her plate like she’ll come home (come home)

[Chorus]
I’m a ghost in this house
Living in the walls of our old life
I move through these rooms
She moves through my mind
Her shadow on the hallway, her laughter in the shower
Every midnight memory still hanging like a shroud
I’m breathing, but I’m broken
Just a ghost in this house

[Outro]
Light off in our bedroom
I sleep on my side of the bed
She’s gone, but I still feel her
Like a hand on my chest
