Ghost on a Runaway Train

[Verse] You left a shadow where your laughter used to shine Words unspoken in the cracks of borrowed time Your fading breath whispered secrets to the air Now I’m chasing phantoms But you're never there [Verse 2] You took the stars and all the light I couldn’t see Left me stranded in a maze of memory How could you go without a single warning shout A ghost on a train while I’m stuck figuring routes [Chorus] How could you leave me in the dark this way I’d have caught your hand to fight the break of day But you vanished like smoke on a speeding chain A ghost on a runaway train [Bridge] Your silence roars louder than any scream I’ve heard Every echo spikes my heart like a shadowed word I’d have walked through storms just to hold the rain But now I’m chasing ghosts on your runaway train [Verse 3] I still hear your voice in the whispers of the wind Reading every moment like it's etched beneath my skin There was so much more I wanted to say You took your story Left my book without a page [Chorus] How could you leave me in the dark this way I’d have caught your hand to fight the break of day But you vanished like smoke on a speeding chain A ghost on a runaway train
