(Starting with an upbeat, rhythmic guitar riff)
(Verse 1)
I still cook for two, then I stare at the plate
Funny how "forever" had an expiration date
The keys are on the counter, but the door is locked tight
I’m sleeping on the left side, but nothing feels right
The perfume on your sweater is starting to fade
Just like every single promise that we ever made.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I’m reaching for your hand in the middle of the dark
But I’m just clutching shadows and a dying little spark.
(Chorus)
Oh, I’m living in the wreckage of a "you and me"
Trying to unlearn everything we used to be
You’re the song I can’t skip, you’re the ghost in the hall
The higher that we flew, girl, the harder the fall
Yeah, my heart’s in pieces and the glue won’t stick
Turns out moving on is the only magic trick
I haven't learned yet.
(Verse 2)
Saw your sister at the market, she looked the other way
I had a thousand things that I wanted to say
Like, "Does she still take her coffee with a little bit of salt?"
And "Do you think the ending was entirely my fault?"
I’m a stranger to your secrets, I’m a footnote in your past
Building castles out of sand that were never gonna last.
(Bridge)
I’m deleting the photos, I’m clearing the space
But no amount of scrubbing wipes the memory of your face
They say time is a healer, but time is a thief
It stole the girl I loved and left me nothing but the grief.
(Chorus)
Oh, I’m living in the wreckage of a "you and me"
Trying to unlearn everything we used to be
You’re the song I can’t skip, you’re the ghost in the hall
The higher that we flew, girl, the harder the fall
Yeah, my heart’s in pieces and the glue won’t stick
Turns out moving on is the only magic trick
I haven't learned yet.
(Outro)
No, I haven't learned yet.
Just a ghost in the hall...
(Fade out)
Just a ghost... of us all.
