Ghost

Eyes like silk, hands like stone

I should have run, if I had known

you’re the creator of broken things

Honeyed lies and fractured dreams

I walk alone through empty rooms

A kind of love that’s gone too soon

You reach for me, then fade away

Haunting me in quiet ways

You let me close, then shut the door

Like you’ve been hurt too much before

Your heart moves slow on borrowed breath

Like love’s a step too close to death

Your shadow is just passing through

Half in this world, half out of view

You’re only here in pieces

Only here at night

Every time I reach for you

You’re fading from my sight

You kiss me like a memory

You leave before I know

I’m falling for a phantom

But I can’t let go

You linger in the silence

You vanish when I’m close

I’m loving what’s already gone

Still reaching through the cold

I hold the shape you left behind

A shadow I love most

I’m still in love with someone

Who’s only ever been a ghost (Ooo)

You trace the scars you never show

Like they’re the only truth you know

I try to hold what won’t remain

A touch that slips through hands again

You say my name like it still hurts

Like love’s a blessing and a curse

I try to grasp what fades away

But I’m mourning you anyway

You’re only here in echoes

Only in between

Every word you never said

Still hanging over me

You love me like a memory

You leave me wanting more

I’m reaching for a feeling

I can’t touch anymore

You linger in the silence

You vanish when I’m close

I’m loving what’s already gone

Still reaching through the cold

I hold the shape you left behind

A shadow I love most

Still saying goodbye to someone

Who’s only ever been a… ghost

I should have stopped asking where you go

When your eyes turn distant, hallow and cold

You were always somewhere between here and gone

And you had planned to leave all along

I tried so hard to hold onto you

But every touch just passed right through (Ooo)

You’re only here in pieces

Only here at night

Every time I reach for you

You’re fading from my sight

You kiss me like a memory

You leave before I know

I’m falling for a phantom

But I can’t let go

You linger in the silence

You vanish when I’m close

I’m loving what’s already gone

Still reaching through the cold

I hold the shape you left behind

A shadow I love most

I’m still in love with someone

Who’s only ever been a…

Now the rooms don’t say your name

And the nights don’t feel the same

I let the silence take its place

Where I once held your face

I’m bound by shadows and bones

Still stuck here chasing a ghost

Eyes like silk… hands like stone
