*(Verse 1)*
I see you walking down the hallway,
Eyes meet mine, then look away.
We both know what we’re feeling,
But the past won’t fade away.
*(Pre-Chorus)*
One mistake, one broken night,
Now your name is never right
In the mouths of those who raised you,
They won’t forgive, no matter what we do.
*(Chorus)*
But I still hear your voice in the silence,
Still feel your touch in my dreams.
We’re just shadows in the places we promised
We’d be more than memories.
And I would run to you, if I could,
But love ain't enough when they say we’re no good.
So we stay apart, though it’s killing us—
Just a ghost of what we were,
The ghost of us.
*(Verse 2)*
I watch you laughing with your new friends,
But I know that smile too well.
It’s the same one you used to give me
Before we lost ourselves in hell.
*(Pre-Chorus)*
One mistake, one broken past,
Now forever’s fading fast.
I’d rewrite the story if I had the chance,
But they won’t let me have the pen in my hands.
*(Chorus)*
But I still hear your voice in the silence,
Still feel your touch in my dreams.
We’re just shadows in the places we promised
We’d be more than memories.
And I would run to you, if I could,
But love ain't enough when they say we’re no good.
So we stay apart, though it’s killing us—
Just a ghost of what we were,
The ghost of us.
*(Bridge)*
Maybe in another life,
We don’t have to say goodbye.
Maybe in a different time,
You could still be mine.
*(Chorus – Soft & Fading Out)*
But I still hear your voice in the silence,
Still feel your touch in my dreams.
We’re just shadows in the places we promised
We’d be more than memories…
*(Outro – Whispered)*
I see you walking down the hallway,
Eyes meet mine, then look away…
