Green eyed ghost

Verse 1

I see your light in the dark I made

Every step you take, I start to fade

Smiling faces, but I feel exposed

Standing next to you, I’m just a ghost

Pre-Chorus

You shine like something I can’t be

A mirror showing what I’ll never see

Chorus

I’m the green-eyed ghost in your shadow

Haunting every high that you know

Every dream you touch, I feel it slipping

Through my hands while my heart keeps gripping

I don’t want to hate you, but I do

Every win you get cuts me in two

I’m the green-eyed ghost, can’t let go

Living in the life I’ll never own

Verse 2

Counting all the things that you possess

Every blessing feels like my distress

You don’t see the storm behind my eyes

While I’m drowning in your perfect life

Pre-Chorus

I trace the lines of what you are

While I’m breaking under every scar

Chorus

I’m the green-eyed ghost in your shadow

Haunting every high that you know

Every dream you touch, I feel it slipping

Through my hands while my heart keeps gripping

I don’t want to hate you, but I do

Every win you get cuts me in two

I’m the green-eyed ghost, can’t let go

Living in the life I’ll never own

Bridge

If I could steal your breath, your name

Would I feel whole or stay the same?

Every wish turns into spite

Every glow becomes my night

Breakdown

(Whispered)

Why not me… why not me…

Final Chorus

I’m the green-eyed ghost in your shadow

Fading where your colors overflow

Every dream you touch, I feel it breaking

All the parts of me I keep faking

I don’t want to hate you, but it grows

Every time your perfect story shows

I’m the green-eyed ghost, I know

I’m everything I’ll never show

Outro

Watching you… becoming less…

Just a ghost of my own regret…
