Sweet Ghost

mm eheh

brillan las luces pero faltas tú

I used to picture you landing in my city

telling you hey Ill show you everything pretty

Pink storefronts rooftops latenight food spots

all the places I swore wed hit nonstop

But you never got the chance to make it out here

stuck in bullshit paperwork waiting year after year

And before life even gave you space to breathe

it ripped you away and that shit still makes me seethe

We didnt talk much yeah I know thats true

cause my Spanish wasnt great and I felt awkward too

But dont think for a second I didnt fucking care

I carry that guilt everywhere everywhere

I saw the change saw your light burn low

and it scared me cause I fucking know

Ive been down that hole felt that same dark shit

I recognized the look the second I saw it

And now Im stuck here wishing I wasnt right

wishing Id fought harder

mm eheh

brillan las luces pero faltas tú

Youre my sweet ghost haunting every street I walk

every place I planned for us every stupid little talk

Youre my sweet ghost and it crushes my chest

cause you deserved softness you deserved rest

Youre my sweet ghost

and it makes me wanna fight

every reason every failure that left you alone at night

We were kids once laughing at dumb shit

all those tiny jokes only we got a bit

But growing up I watched you dim year by year

and I hate myself for pretending it wasnt clear

This world failed you

and the truth hits like a punch this world did you dirty as hell

If you needed someone

Fuck I shouldve been the one to yell

Now Im screaming at the ceiling till my throat goes raw

mad at fate mad at silence mad at every fucked up flaw

How the hell were you hurting with no one to call

How the hell did you carry that weight all on your own

You were fighting demons nobody saw

and now Im left here breaking every time Im alone

Im tired of people telling me time heals pain

Someone like you shouldve stayed shouldve grown

and the holidays hit harder cause youre gone

mm eheh

brillan las luces pero faltas tú

Youre my sweet ghost haunting every street I walk

every plan I made for us every damn day we lost

Youre my sweet ghost and it tears up my chest

cause you deserved peace not a world that failed your best

Youre my sweet ghost

and it makes me wanna fight

every silence every system that left you alone at night

Mmmmm huhhhh heh hee mmm

Sweet ghost I feel you in every place I go

every dream I had for us is now a wound I cant sew

Sweet ghost Im pissed off Im hurting Im loud

cause you deserved sunlight not a world that shut you out

Sweet ghost

you shouldve been here you shouldve stayed

and Ill carry you forever in the mess this world made

mm eheh
