Everywhere I look

Smoke rolls like ghosts through the neon haze

Whiskey burns my throat, but it don’t kill the days

Since I saw you standin’ there, laughin’ in his arms

Like I never mattered, like I’m just another scar

The jukebox hums that song you used to hum

And my chest caves in, I swear I come undone

Every shadow wears your face, every mirror bleeds your name

And I’m still the fool who takes the blame

⸻

It’s like the world won’t let me forget

You’re in every breath, in every regret

⸻

Now you’re everywhere I look, everywhere I go

In the smoke and the songs on the radio

In the eyes of strangers, in the way they move

It’s like the universe is haunted by you

Can’t close my eyes, can’t shake the view

Everywhere I look, I see you

⸻

I light another cigarette, but it burns too slow

Every drag’s a flashback I don’t wanna know

Your voice still echoes in the back of my mind

Like a record scratch I can’t rewind

Tried drowning you in bottles, tried praying you away

But you crawl out the cracks in my yesterdays

Even the rain sounds like your goodbye

And I’m still chasing ghosts in the night

⸻

I swore I’d move on, but it’s too damn late

You’re stitched in the walls of my fate

⸻

Now you’re everywhere I look, everywhere I go

In the smoke and the songs on the radio

In the eyes of strangers, in the way they move

It’s like the universe is haunted by you

Can’t close my eyes, can’t shake the view

Everywhere I look, I see you

⸻

Maybe I loved you too hard, maybe I broke too fast

Maybe we’re both just echoes of a fire that couldn’t last

But God, when I saw you under that barroom light

I knew I’d lose my mind tonight

⸻

(Guitars wail — that slow-burn solo that screams heartbreak and rage all at once.)

⸻

Now you’re everywhere I look, everywhere I go

In the smoke and the songs on the radio

You’re the ghost in my blood, the dream I can’t undo

I see you, I breathe you, I bleed for you

Can’t close my eyes, can’t shake the view

Everywhere I look, I see you

⸻

The night fades slow, but the memories stay

You disappear, but never go away

And I’m trapped in this barroom déjà vu—

Everywhere I look… it’s still you.
