Ghost Of You

Silent streets, my shadow walks alone

(so quiet… so still…)

Heartbeat races, but the calm is gone

(fade away… fade away…)

I reach for something I can’t hold

(come back… come back…)

You were never mine, not really

Just a mask, a shield in the dark

But I clung, I needed the safety

Your quiet strength became my spark

(hold me… don’t go…)

I shouldn’t have let myself attach

I shouldn’t have imagined you

Yet here I am, staring at the void

Missing someone who never knew

(ghost… ghost…)

Every night I hear your steps

Every whisper pulls me in

Even knowing it’s only my mind

I ache for the warmth that’s thin

(stay… stay…)

I shouldn’t have wanted you

Yet my heart still calls your name

A shadow in my memory

A fire that has no flame

(come back… come back…)

I needed someone steady

In a world that tore apart

And I gave my hope, my heart

To a ghost that left its mark

(haunt me… haunt me…)

Every phantom gesture I replay

Your calm hands, your quiet eyes

I built my nights around you

My armor around your lies

(so safe… so safe…)

Now the silence screams your absence

And I can’t undo this pull

I crave the shadow, crave the warmth

Of a presence that was never full

(never full… never full…)

I know I should let go

I know it’s all in my mind

But grief doesn’t care for logic

It burns, it twists, it blinds

(fire… fire…)

I shouldn’t have wanted you

Yet my heart still calls your name

A shadow in my memory

A fire that has no flame

(come back… come back…)

I needed someone steady

In a world that tore apart

And I gave my hope, my heart

To a ghost that left its mark

(haunt me… haunt me…)

Silent streets, I walk alone

(so quiet… so still…)

Missing someone who was never mine

But haunted me…

(haunted me…)
