Ghosts Between the Lines

Verse 1

There’s a light on in the hallway

But this house still feels dark

I keep moving through the motions

With a heavy, tired heart

Every day’s another number

Another fire to put out

And I smile when people ask me

What I’ve been thinking about

⸻

Pre-Chorus

But the silence gets loud

When the night rolls in

And I don’t know where to start again

⸻

Chorus

I’m still learning how to breathe

Without you next to me

Still losing sleep

To memories I should leave behind

Trying to be strong

Trying to move on

But there’s ghosts between the lines

Of this life

⸻

Verse 2

I see your name light up my phone

And my whole world shifts

Funny how a single moment

Can still hurt like this

Everybody says “keep going”

Like it’s easy when you’re tired

When your mind becomes a prison

And your heart’s a live wire

⸻

Pre-Chorus

And I’m so worn down

From carrying this weight

But I still wake up and face the day

⸻

Chorus

I’m still learning how to breathe

Without you next to me

Still losing sleep

To memories I should leave behind

Trying to be strong

Trying to move on

But there’s ghosts between the lines

Of this life

⸻

Bridge

Maybe healing isn’t lightning

Maybe it’s just surviving long enough

To see the morning

Without falling apart

⸻

Final Chorus

I’m still learning how to live

With all the things I miss

Still finding pieces of myself

In the dark

And maybe someday

This won’t feel so hard

Till then I’ll keep driving

Through these city lights alone

With ghosts between the lines

Of this life.
