The Ghost of You

[Verse] The midnight air whispers what I never knew Through shadows Your silence cuts me in two Why'd you hide the storms that brewed inside? The secrets untold Where my soul abides [Chorus] The ghost of you dances within my veins Wrapped in your absence I wear the chains You slipped through cracks while I stood blind Now I’m chasing specters in my haunted mind [Verse 2] I clutch the echoes But they spill away Fragile memories They can’t choose to stay Your fading voice keeps tugging my sleeve But it never answers why you had to leave [Bridge] Why didn’t you scream what your heart concealed? Why layer the truth with wounds unhealed? Now I drown in waves of the “could have said” While shadows of guilt lay upon my bed [Chorus] The ghost of you dances within my veins Wrapped in your absence I wear the chains You slipped through cracks while I stood blind Now I’m chasing specters in my haunted mind [Verse 3] Hands reach for shadows that never respond Tied to your essence but can't hold the bond Unspoken words now fuel my cries For answers lost in your fading sighs
