Verse 1
You keep carrying the weight of every word they ever said,
Letting shadows pull their chairs up, living rent free in your head.
But darling, half those voices never even knew the real you,
So why let echoes tell you what your heart is allowed to do?
Pre-Chorus
You are more than every story they wrote about your past,
You are fire, you are courage, you are built to outlast.
Chorus
Stop living to impress the ghosts in the room,
They cannot love you, they cannot lift you, they just whisper old doom.
You are stronger than the stories that keep haunting your truth,
So stop living to impress the ghosts in the room.
Verse 2
I see you folding all your colours just to fit their faded lines,
Playing small so no one notices the brilliance of your shine.
But love, you are not beholden to a past that is not kind,
It is time to shut the window where those ghosts slip in your mind.
Pre-Chorus
Every sunrise is a promise that you can start anew,
And every breath you take belongs to no one else but you.
Chorus
Stop living to impress the ghosts in the room,
They cannot love you, they cannot lift you, they just whisper old doom.
You are stronger than the stories that keep haunting your truth,
So stop living to impress the ghosts in the room.
Bridge
Let them fade like smoke in the morning light,
Let them drift away with the dark of night.
you are living,
you are warm,
you are here,
And no ghost can steer a heart that draws its life from love, not fear
Outro Chorus
So stop living to impress the ghosts in the room,
Let your heartbeat be the rhythm, let your soul set the tune.
You are brighter now than ever and you’re ready to bloom,
So stop living to impress the ghosts in the room.
Nyre
