[Verse 1]
Left my boots by the front door
Mowed that yard till the sun went down
Fixed that leak in the upstairs shower
You just scroll, never turn around
Folded shirts on the kitchen table
Took the trash out, fed your cat
Cooked your favorite, let mine get cold
You just said, "Why you dressed like that?"
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep showing up, you keep looking past
Every little thing I do just fades so fast
[Chorus]
Got paint on my hands from your broken walls
Got your name in my plans, but you missed my calls
Every time you fall, I'm the one who stands
But you never see the bruises on my hands
I’m right here, but I feel like a ghost in your house
You don’t notice till the lights go out
[Verse 2]
Sat with you through your midnight crying
Held you up when your world turned gray
Heard the words that you said about him
Guess they fit me in their own way
You say “thanks” like you’re on autopilot
Eyes somewhere that I can’t reach
Got my love in every little corner
But my name don’t ever get a speech
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep filling up a well that’s running dry
You keep asking “What’s the matter?” while I lie
[Chorus]
Got paint on my hands from your broken walls
Got your name in my plans, but you missed my calls
Every time you fall, I'm the one who stands
But you never see the bruises on my hands
I’m right here, but I feel like a ghost in your house
You don’t notice till the lights go out
[Bridge]
Maybe I should leave these dishes in the sink (yeah)
Let the grass grow high, give myself some room to think
If I disappeared tonight, would you even ask “where?”
Or would you just sit in that same old chair
[Chorus]
Got paint on my hands from your broken walls
Got your name in my plans, but you missed my calls
Every time you fall, I'm the one who stands
But you never see the bruises on my hands
I’m right here, but I feel like a ghost in your house (ghost in your house)
You only see me when the lights go out (when the lights go out)
