The Ghost of You

“Do you have Snapchat?” 

(Intro) 
I remember I was starting life, 
Then you came in and I made you mine,
But in the end we became hollow, 
Now our memories haunt my mind,

(Pre chorus)
I can’t help wanting every girl to be like you,
You were fighting battles I never really knew,
My type of work took my time pulled me further from you,
With everything crashing down, I didn’t know what to do.

(Chorus)
The silence screams your name from time to time,
Every broken dream still whispers in rewind,
I’m trapped between the past I left behind,
You will forever be the ghost which haunts my mind.

(Verse) 
I still dream of you when I’m about to let go,
Waking in a sweat from the memories I know,
A stranger, a scent pulls you back in view,
I keep holding the good times, the light we once knew.

(Pre chorus)
In my line of work I almost saw a baby die,
Seeing her tears and yall sharing the same eyes,
The images always come up and plague my mind,
This memory hits me to this day, and I still don’t know why.

(Chorus)
The silence screams your name from time to time,
Every broken dream still whispers in rewind,
I’m trapped between the past I left behind,
You will forever be the ghost which haunts my mind.

(Verse)
I keep reaching for you in every fleeting glance,
A love half-lived, that never got a second chance.

(Bridge) 
You were the right person at the wrong time, 
You said our stars were never meant to collide,
I hate this truth and wish it were a lie, 
Because my memories of you refuse to die, 
Were fate more kind, you would’ve been my bride,
And now every day I’m filling the memory of a ghost behind my eyes,

(Chorus)
The silence screams your name from time to time,
Every broken dream still whispers in rewind,
I’m trapped between the past I left behind,
You will forever be the ghost which haunts my mind.

(Outro)
I hear your voice in the quiet of the night,
Shadows of you linger just out of sight,
No matter the time, no matter the tide,
You will always be the ghost by my side.
