Ghost in your garden

**“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.
