[Intro]
[Clean, sad guitar loop over a low, warm hum]
Ooh, the ghost of you...
[Verse 1]
I cleared your things out from the closet today
Finally gone...
Packed up the leftover pieces and threw them away.
The space on the mattress is finally bare
So bare...
No trace of your touch, no scent in the air.
But the silence you left is a different design—A different kind.
It occupies spaces that used to be mine.
[Pre-Chorus]
[A soft rimshot comes in, keeping a slow steady heartbeat]
I don’t look for your car when I pull in the drive.
Moving on.
I’m starting to feel like I’m coming alive.
But memory plays a dangerous art
In the dark...
Leaving an echo inside of my heart.
[Chorus]
[The bass drops deeper, airy vocal harmonies swell]
I fell for the ghost of the man that I knew
The man I knew...
Chasing a shadow that looked just like you.
But the phantom is fading, the colors are true
I see you clearly now.
I’m finally letting the ghost of you go.
Yeah, letting you go.
Letting it drift away...
[Verse 2]
[The drums drop out, just the guitar and bass]
You’re out in the world living out your new choice
With her...
But the walls in this room don't remember your voice.
I look at old photos and don't feel the sting
No more pain.
Just wondering how we lost everything.
You’re somebody else's illusion to keep
Let her have it all.
While I finally get a good night of sleep.
[Bridge]
[The drums pull back completely, leaving a wide, atmospheric swell that builds in intensity]
You can keep the history we built in the dark.
Take it all.
I’m scrubbing the static right out of the spark.
It took me a long time to realize the truth—So long...
The version I loved died inside of you.
[Chorus]
[The beat hits back with full energy, vocals getting thicker and heavily layered]
I fell for the ghost of the man that I knew
The man I knew...
Chasing a shadow that looked just like you.
But the phantom is fading, the colors are true
I see you clearly now.
I’m finally letting the ghost of you go.
Yeah, letting you go.
Letting it drift away...
[Outro]
[The guitar loops start to fade, the bass slides down slow and heavy]
Just a shadow in the corner.
Fading out.
(Goodbye...)
[Everything fades to a single low note]
