[Verse]
I built a shrine from broken dreams
A temple of what you could have been
Your shadow whispers through the seams
[Prechorus]
You never held me like I hoped
But I still clung to every rope
[Chorus]
I lost you but not the ghost of you
The one I thought would see me through
You couldn’t love me like I needed you to
But I still love the lie of you
[Verse 2]
I painted skies where you were kind
A canvas blurred by my own mind
The love I made was one-sided
Blind
[Prechorus]
You never stayed
You never tried
But I believed the sweetest lie
[Chorus]
I lost you but not the ghost of you
The one I thought would see me through
You couldn’t love me like I needed you to
But I still love the lie of you
