Verse 1
You were standing in the kitchen,
But your eyes had gone somewhere else.
I kept reaching for the man I loved,
While you became somebody else.
Every promise turned to smoke,
Every sunrise felt the same.
I wasn’t losing you to silence…
I was losing you to a name.
A crystal kingdom.
A lonely throne.
I slept beside a stranger…
Never slept alone.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
How do you mourn
Someone breathing next to you?
How do you hold on
When there’s nothing left to hold?
⸻
Chorus
You’re a ghost with a heartbeat,
A photograph that still can speak.
The man I loved kept fading,
While the drug stole him from me.
I kept fighting for tomorrow,
You kept disappearing into yesterday.
Sometimes goodbye
Comes long before the funeral.
And letting go
Was how I saved myself.
⸻
Verse 2
I counted second chances
Like they could change the tide.
Built a home out of hope,
While the walls collapsed inside.
Love isn’t measured
By how much pain you survive.
Sometimes love is choosing
To stay alive.
Walking out felt impossible.
Looking back…
It saved me.
⸻
Build
The mirror didn’t recognize me.
I’d forgotten my own face.
So I started collecting pieces,
One brave day at a time.
⸻
Drop / Chorus
I found my heartbeat.
I found my voice.
I found a future
Inside the hardest choice.
I carry every lesson,
But I don’t carry the chains.
The storm became my teacher.
The scars became my strength.
I’m still standing.
I’m still dreaming.
I’m finally breathing again.
⸻
Bridge
I don’t hate you.
I hate the empty chair.
The broken promises.
The nights spent wondering
If tomorrow would be different.
I hope one day
You find your way home.
But I finally found mine.
⸻
Final Chorus
You were a ghost with a heartbeat,
But I don’t live in haunted rooms.
The sun still rises.
The music still plays.
The world kept turning,
And so did I.
I never thought
Freedom could feel this gentle.
Now every sunrise
Belongs to me.
I’m stronger
Than the silence.
Braver
Than the fear.
I didn’t lose my life…
I found it
The moment
I set it free.
Outro
Love can survive.
Sometimes…
It just survives
in someone else.
And now…
I finally get to survive
as me.
