Ghost of Your Goodbye

(Verse 1)

Left with your indentation in the bed

Thoughts inside, words meant to be said

How could I let you go instead

Left in the ghost of your goodbye

Haunted by the memories of your eyes

How could I let you go so easy

(Pre-Chorus)

Now every midnight creak of this old house

Sounds like your boots walking back around

(Chorus)

But it’s just the ghost of your goodbye

Still dancing through the silence every night

Your shadow lingers in the hallway light

Like you never really left my side

Your whiskey kiss still burns on my mind

And every lonely song cuts like a knife

I keep reaching for what ain’t there to find

Living with the ghost of your goodbye

(Verse 2)

Your coffee cup’s still sitting by the sink

Like you might walk in before I blink

Funny how forever disappears so quick

I still hear your laugh in this Chevrolet

Still see your name in the pouring rain

And every small-town road leads me to you

(Pre-Chorus)

I swear these memories got a heartbeat now

And they won’t let me put you down

(Chorus)

It’s the ghost of your goodbye

Still dancing through the silence every night

Your shadow lingers in the hallway light

Like you never really left my side

Your whiskey kiss still burns on my mind

And every lonely song cuts like a knife

I keep reaching for what ain’t there to find

Living with the ghost of your goodbye

(Bridge)

Maybe love don’t leave when people do

Maybe hearts keep holding onto truth

Maybe I’m still somewhere in your rearview too

(Final Chorus)

Oh, the ghost of your goodbye

Keeps waking me up in the dead of night

Your memory’s a flame I can’t outrun

A faded photograph beneath the sun

And no matter how hard I try

You’re still the ache I can’t untie

Yeah, I’m still holding onto what died

Living with the ghost of your goodbye

(Outro)

Left with your indentation in the bed

And all the words we never said…
