Anchor Ghost

Verse 1

You said I was your anchor,

Then you went and jumped ship.

Left me holdin’ all the weight

Of every promise that you slipped.

And suddenly I wasn’t steady—

I was sinking in your wake,

Drowning in the memories

You didn’t bother to save.

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, it cut me deep, I won’t pretend…

Maybe I let it happen,

Guess I’m my own masochist again.

Chorus

’Cause every room I walk into,

I’m still lookin’ for you—

Like your shadow’s in the corner,

Like your voice is breakin’ through.

And it’s hell to miss somebody

Who was holdin’ me down too.

You said I was your anchor,

But you were mine…

And I can’t shake you loose.

Verse 2

Thought time would pull me to the surface,

Thought I’d breathe a little more.

But I still check the crowd for your face

Every time I walk through a door.

You were never really lifeline,

But God, I made you my home—

Now I’m wanderin’ through the shoreline

Of a love that’s long gone cold.

Pre-Chorus

I keep replaying every moment,

Every touch I can’t resist—

Wish I wasn’t wired

To hurt the way I do like this.

Chorus

’Cause every room I walk into,

I’m still lookin’ for you—

Though you left me in the deep end

With no warning, no excuse.

And it kills me that I’m missin’

Someone who held me down, not through.

You said I was your anchor,

But you were mine…

And I’m still tied to you.

Bridge

Maybe someday I’ll stop searching,

Maybe one day I’ll forget—

But right now my heart is haunted

By the places you haven’t been yet.

I keep hopin’ for a glimpse of you

My mind won’t let me quit.

Final Chorus

’Cause every room I walk into,

I’m still lookin’ for you—

Like you’re one step in the doorway,

Like you’ll show up out of the blue.

But ghosts don’t come back, honey,

And anchors don’t move.

You said I was your anchor,

But you were mine…

And I’m still drowning in you.
