The Ghost I Chase

Pourin' out my soul, in shadows of regret

Searching for the truth, in the tears I’ve left

Heart on my sleeve, wounds that never heal

Chasing a ghost, what’s lost, what I can’t feel

Living on the edge, my love and pain collide

Fighting through the darkness, I can’t run or hide

Doing what I can to be kind, to keep a spark alive

But my own shadows threaten to take all I survive

Pushing away the one who knew me best

Carved my own scars, laid my heart to rest

Now I’m drowning in this hollow inside

Looking for closure that I know I’ll never find

All I want is to turn back time

To hold you close, to make you mine

But I’m lost in this spiral, broken and torn

Living in the ache of all I’ve mourned

Oh, the one who got away

Haunts my nights, stains my days

Closure’s a mirage I chase in vain

Forever wandering in this pain

Beneath the chaos, I still believe

In human kindness, in what’s underneath

Fighting the urge to run from what’s real

Hoping someday this pain will heal

So I’ll keep walking this lonely road

With a heavy heart and a mind that’s sold

To memories I can’t reclaim

Forever lost, forever changed,

In the echo of your name

Whispers of the morning light,

Leading me to where dreams ignite.

A gentle breeze, a song so pure,

In your eyes, I find my cure.

Walking down this lonely street,

Heartbeats echo, skip, repeat.

Looking for a sign, a spark,

To guide me through this endless dark.

Every step, a new beginning,

Lost in hope and endless dreaming.

Hold on tight, don’t let this fade,

In your love, I’ve personally stayed.

Shine like the stars above,

Bright and free, full of love.

Take my hand, let's fly away,

Forever in this sweet ballet.

Through storms and rain, we will stand,

Together strong, hand in hand.

No mountain too high, no sea too wide,

With you here, I’ll always ride.

So here’s my heart, true and new,

Waiting still, just for you.

In this song, I’ll always stay,

Forever yours, come what may.
