Ghost I Still Bleed For

Verse 1

I buried your name in the back of my throat

But it screams every night when I’m alone

Every scar you left learned how to talk

And it sounds just like you when I walk… away

Your laugh is a blade I can’t outrun

It cuts me deep when I think I’m numb

I swear I’m done, I swear I’m through

But hell still looks a lot like you

Pre-Chorus

I tore your picture into flames

But the smoke still knows my name

You don’t knock, you never did

You haunt me like a fucking sin

Chorus

You’re my favorite mistake, my sweetest disease

The one I hate, the one I still need

You crawl back, when I start to heal

You’re the ghost I bleed for, still feel

I let you go a thousand times

But you live between these broken lines

I’d burn the past if I could choose

But I still fucking ache for you

Verse 2

I see your shadow in strangers’ eyes

Every “almost” love just reminds

You taught my heart to beg for pain

To confuse love with these chains

I tried to drown you in someone new

But every kiss tasted just like you

You left me wrecked, you left me raw

Still I’d answer if you called

Pre-Chorus

I built these walls out of spite

And you slip through the cracks inside

You say you’re changed, you swear it’s true

But every lie still sounds like you

Chorus

You’re my favorite mistake, my sweetest disease

The one I hate, the one I still need

You crawl back, when I start to heal

You’re the ghost I still bleed for, still feel

I let you go a thousand times

But you live between these broken lines

I’d burn the past if I could choose

But I still fucking ache for you

Breakdown (spoken / screamed)

You don’t love me—

You just hate being alone

And I hate myself

For picking up when you call-

Bridge

If loving you’s a war I’ll lose

Why do I still choose you?

You’re poison dressed like salvation

A wound that begs for devastation

Final Chorus (half-time → full)

You’re my favorite mistake, carved in my skin

Every ending pulls you back in

I tried to kill what we used to be

But your memory won’t let me breathe

(Full)

You’re my favorite mistake, my sweetest disease

The one I hate, the one I still need

If this pain’s the price I pay

I’ll scream your name and fade away…

Outro

If you come back one last time

I know damn well I’ll cross that line

Some loves don’t die—they just decay

And rot inside you every day
