[Intro]
I still recognize your outline in the room,
but the light inside it moved.
[Verse 1]
I wake to your shoulder—warm, familiar weather,
yet the storm we were won’t gather.
Your body’s here, but you’re miles away,
like two constellations misreading the same sky.
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep digging for the you I knew—
my hands come up full of you, untrue.
[Chorus]
You’re a ghost in your own skin,
a house with lights that won’t let me in.
I swear I feel you, but you’re not here—
fading out, my love, I fear.
You’re a ghost—softly wearing your grin,
and I’m holding on while you slip within…
[Verse 2]
I reach and meet the absence first—
a smile with its teeth rehearsed.
We speak in sentences that don’t arrive,
like letters returned, “no longer inside.”
We’re two at a table set for a crowd,
and the quiet keeps winning, loud.
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep digging for the you I knew—
now I’m learning how ghosts feel too.
[Chorus]
You’re a ghost in your own skin,
a house with lights that won’t let me in.
I swear I feel you, but you’re not here—
fading out, my love, I fear.
You’re a ghost—softly wearing your grin,
and I’m holding on while you slip within…
[Bridge]
Your eyes are open, somewhere else,
like you got traded for yourself.
We’re saying words like harmless prayers,
while something answers from the stairs.
I call you back, I call you back—
but it’s like you were turned and pawned…
the you in us is gone.
[Chorus]
You’re a ghost in your own skin,
a house with lights that won’t let me in.
I swear I feel you, but you’re not here—
fading out, my love, I fear.
You’re a ghost—softly wearing your grin,
and I’m holding on while you slip within…
someone’s wearing you like wind.
[Outro]
Ghost in your own skin…
the room stays—
you don’t.
