Ghost of Who I Was

[Verse 1]
You asked me
"Are you sure this is love?"
I laughed it off
But the question dug in like rust
Every kiss
Had a maybe in the dark
Every promise
Came with shaking in your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept saying we were fine
You kept reading every sign
Turned my faith into a fault line
Then you walked across it
[Chorus]
Now I'm the ghost of who I was
Haunting every room we touched
Madly in love to
Barely enough
Yeah
You tore the color from my blood
Left me see-through
Cold and stuck
I'm standing here
But I'm not here
I'm the ghost of who I was
[Verse 2]
Used to burn
Just to hear you say my name
Now your voice
Is an echo in my brain
Friends call me
But I stare right through the glass
Talking back
To the shadows of our past
[Pre-Chorus]
You kept asking "Is this real?"
I kept bleeding just to feel
When you finally set me free
You buried what was left of me
[Chorus]
Now I'm the ghost of who I was
Haunting every room we touched
Madly in love to
Barely enough
Yeah
You tore the color from my blood
Left me see-through
Cold and stuck
I'm standing here
But I'm not here
I'm the ghost of who I was
[Bridge]
I beat my chest
But there's no drum (hey!)
I call your name
And no one comes
I check the mirror
Nothing there
Just cracked glass
And empty air
[Chorus]
Now I'm the ghost of who I was
Haunting every room we touched
Madly in love to
Barely enough
Yeah
You tore the color from my blood
Left me see-through
Cold and stuck
I'm standing here
But I'm not here
I'm the ghost of who I was
I'm standing here
But I'm not here
I'm the ghost of who I was

rock, Arena-ready hard rock with male vocals; tight palm-muted guitars in the verses, thunderous open-chord choruses. Drums build from tense, tom-heavy patterns into crashing cymbals on hooks. Bass stays gritty and present, doubling riffs. Middle section drops to half-time and reverb-soaked lead guitar for a haunted feel, then explodes back into a final, shouted chorus with stacked gang vocals on the title line., hard rock
