[Verse 1 – Soft, haunting vocals over clean arpeggiated guitar]
She used to dance in the firelight glow
Now I just see her in the embers below
I said the words I thought were right
But silence followed every fight
A torn page in a book I burned
She left, and I never learned
Now I’m staring through the smoke
Choking on the things I never spoke
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Bass comes in, heartbeat rhythm]
I see her eyes in the pouring rain
Every streetlight calls her name
Tried to move, but I’m still stuck
On the night I gave her up
⸻
[Chorus – Soaring, raw vocals over heavy guitars and pounding drums]
She’s the ghost I never laid to rest
Still haunts the halls inside my chest
Every smile, every breath I fake
Is just a memory I can’t unmake
Yeah, I loved her wrong, I loved her blind
Now she’s the shadow I can’t leave behind
⸻
[Verse 2 – More intensity, rhythm kicks up]
Our bed’s still made like she might come back
But all that’s left is the fade to black
I wear the guilt like a second skin
Can’t wash her voice out from within
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – More desperate]
I tried to drink her out of me
But she lives in every melody
Tried to run, but I remain
A prisoner of my own damn pain
⸻
[Chorus – Bigger, more emotional hit]
She’s the ghost I never laid to rest
Still haunts the halls inside my chest
Every smile, every breath I fake
Is just a memory I can’t unmake
Yeah, I broke her down, I crossed the line
Now she’s the silence screaming in my mind
⸻
[Bridge – Quiet moment, stripped down, solo vocal + ambient guitar]
(Whispered)
I should’ve held her one more night
Should’ve begged, should’ve tried
But pride’s a cage, and love’s the cost
And I never knew what I had…
…’til I lost
⸻
[Final Chorus – Full-blown emotional peak, voice on the edge of breaking]
She’s the ghost I never laid to rest
Still tears the beat out from my chest
Every lie I swore was true
Now burns like hell in shades of blue
Yeah, I’d give it all to press rewind
But she’s the ghost I left behind
⸻
[Outro – Fading, mournful guitar + soft falsetto or whisper]
She’s the ghost…
The ghost I never laid to rest…
(And I still see her in my dreams…)
