[Verse 1]
We had a drawer full of ticket stubs
Faded ink on the fridge door notes
Coffee cups with your name half rubbed
All our winter coats
Your sweater still on the second chair
Dust on the frame where your smile once stayed
How do you walk past all of that
Like it can be erased
[Chorus]
You act like our ghost years
Never touched your skin
Like we were a bad dream
You never let in
You move through the city
Like I was never here
You look through my body
Like glass
Like air
Like our ghost years
Never lived in you
But they’re haunted rooms
I’m still walking through
[Verse 2]
I see you twice at the grocery store
You study labels
You skip my eyes
You used to text me from this same aisle
Saying “pick the cheaper wine”
Your mother still sends a card in June
Writes both our names by accident
Funny how ink remembers us
When you say you don’t
You won’t
You can’t
[Chorus]
You act like our ghost years
Never touched your skin
Like we were a bad dream
You never let in
You move through the city
Like I was never here
You look through my body
Like glass
Like air
Like our ghost years
Never lived in you
But they’re haunted rooms
I’m still walking through
[Bridge]
Did you burn the shirts
The Sunday plans
The baby names written on your hand
The lists
The fights
The whispered “stay”
Did you throw our whole life away
I speak your name in an empty room
It hangs
It falls
It doesn’t move (oh)
You stay so quiet it’s almost loud
Silence heavier than truth
[Chorus]
You act like our ghost years
Never touched your skin
Like we were a bad dream
You never let in
You move through the city
Like I was never here
You look through my body
Like glass
Like air
Like our ghost years
Never lived in you
But they’re haunted rooms
I’m still walking through
