[Verse 1]
You laughed like I was far away
I held your coat
You held his gaze
Champagne glass shaking in my hand
All these strangers
But I’m the ghost in the room
[Pre-Chorus]
You touch his arm
Just a little too long
You brush your hair
Like a slow love song
Every move says everything you won’t say
And I can’t look
But I can’t walk away
[Chorus]
I saw that sparkle in your eye but it wasn’t for me
Like a movie I paid for
Where I’m cut from the scene
Standing in the doorway
Watching our vows come undone
I saw that sparkle in your eye
And it burned like the sun
[Verse 2]
You tilt your head
That secret smile
The one you used to save for midnight drives
He leans in close to hear you speak
I hear every word in the way you breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
You take his hand through the crowded glow
You lose my ring in the undertow
Every laugh is a line through our name
And I taste my pride like cheap red stain
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
So I straighten my tie
Practice goodbye
In the bathroom mirror
Fluorescent truth
[soft strings rise]
How do I leave
What we believed
When you’ve already walked out of the room
[Chorus]
