Cold Heart, Warm Ghost

Verse 1

Lately the nights been heavier than stone

Learning how heartbreak sounds when you’re alone

You slipped away without a warning sign

Left me picking through the wreckage in my mind

I gave you pieces I don’t hand out free

You wore my love like it meant nothing to keep

Now I’m stuck wondering what was real

If I was just a place you came to heal

Pre-Chorus

You wanted freedom, wanted no strings tied

But somehow hated when I tried to live my life

Chorus

So why do I miss the hands that let me go?

Why do I love a heart that stayed so cold?

Why do your eyes still haunt me in the dark

Like you still own every broken part?

I say your name with anger on my tongue

But underneath it, I’m still undone

I should hate you after all you put me through

But I don’t, I don’t

I still want you

Verse 2

I’ve been trying on a life that’s new to me

Standing on my own feels like a foreign street

There’s good people here, but I’m too bruised to start

Can’t hand out love with stitches on my heart

Then I saw you from across a crowded room

And every light in there went black too soon

You looked at me like I was easy to replace

While I was trying just to breathe inside that place

Pre-Chorus

You moved on careless, I’m still catching flames

Funny how I’m healing and you call it games

Chorus

So why do I miss the hands that let me go?

Why do I love a heart that stayed so cold?

Why do your eyes still haunt me in the dark

Like you still own every broken part?

I say your name with anger on my tongue

But underneath it, I’m still undone

I should hate you after all you put me through

But I don’t, I don’t

I still want you

Bridge

Maybe in another life you would’ve stayed

Maybe fear and pride just got in the way

Maybe what we had was almost something real

Enough to scar me, never enough to heal

Final Chorus

So why do I miss the hands that let me go?

Why do I chase a love I’ll never know?

Why does goodbye still sound like your voice?

Why does losing you still feel like no choice?

I say I’m over it to everyone I know

But when I’m alone, the truth still shows

I should hate you after all you put me through

But I don’t, I don’t

I still love you
