Ghost of Who I Was

[Verse 1]
Good guy gone, left his coat on the chair
Empty eyes staring, but he ain't there
Heart broke too many times, couldn't repair
The cracks ran deep, deeper than despair
Used to smile, used to fight the fight
Now a shadow walks where I held the light
Echoes of a laugh, hollow in the night
The mirror don't reflect, just swallows my sight
[Chorus]
Ghost of who I was, I see him fade
He packed his bags, my soul betrayed
Left me standing in the mess I made
The good guy's gone, the debt's been paid
[Verse 2]
Feet on the pavement, but they ain't mine
Feel the weight of loss, every step confined
Used to have hope, it was the good kind
Now it's all ash, scattered in time
A heart too heavy to hold the dream
Cried rivers 'til they turned to steam
Truth cuts sharp, a jagged seam
He walked away, no in-between
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to patch it, stitch by stitch
But life's a liar, life's a snitch
Every break, every hit, every glitch
