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…
