ghost of us

*(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…
