**“ghost in your garden”**
*(Verse 1)*
you held my hand like it was nothing
said my name like a prayer, now it’s nothing
how did you sleep with my heart on your sleeve
then toss it like clothes you don’t wanna keep?
i saw your smile in his reflection
same one you gave me—was it affection?
you said “forever,” like you meant it that day
but silence is louder than words you don’t say
*(Pre-Chorus)*
i watched you fade like breath on a mirror
each day you spoke, your voice got clearer
but not for me…
not for me
*(Chorus)*
you kissed me with eyes closed,
maybe so you wouldn’t see
the way i was breaking
so quietly
now you love like i never happened
laugh like i never cried
how do you move on
while i’m stuck in the night?
*(Verse 2)*
you said, “i’ll always be here if you need”
but i called and you let it just ring
you’re dancing in pictures with someone new
while i’m choking on songs that still sound like you
was i a phase you were dying to leave?
did you ever mean it, or just make-believe?
you were a storm and i begged for the rain
now i’m just drowning alone in the pain
*(Pre-Chorus)*
you left the pieces, didn’t pick them
just stepped over what was broken
like i’m debris…
just debris
*(Chorus)*
you kissed me with eyes closed,
maybe so you wouldn’t see
the way i was breaking
so quietly
now you love like i never happened
laugh like i never cried
how do you move on
while i’m stuck in the night?
*(Verse 3)*
i still check if you read what i sent
like it matters—you’re gone, so content
but i keep our memories in silent frames
while you rewrite us with someone else’s name
i died in the story you started so sweet
now you skip every page that remembers me
i’m just the echo you left behind
and you're already someone else's light
*(Bridge)*
i write you in lyrics i hope you won’t hear
scream into pillows so no one comes near
you’re not coming back and i know it’s true
but i still save a place in my dreams for you
*(Outro - whispery)*
if you ever wonder
where i’ve gone
i’m the ghost in your garden
where you left the light on.
