(Verse 1)
Left with your indentation in the bed
Thoughts inside, words meant to be said
How could I let you go instead
Left in the ghost of your goodbye
Haunted by the memories of your eyes
How could I let you go so easy
(Pre-Chorus)
Now every midnight creak of this old house
Sounds like your boots walking back around
(Chorus)
But it’s just the ghost of your goodbye
Still dancing through the silence every night
Your shadow lingers in the hallway light
Like you never really left my side
Your whiskey kiss still burns on my mind
And every lonely song cuts like a knife
I keep reaching for what ain’t there to find
Living with the ghost of your goodbye
(Verse 2)
Your coffee cup’s still sitting by the sink
Like you might walk in before I blink
Funny how forever disappears so quick
I still hear your laugh in this Chevrolet
Still see your name in the pouring rain
And every small-town road leads me to you
(Pre-Chorus)
I swear these memories got a heartbeat now
And they won’t let me put you down
(Chorus)
It’s the ghost of your goodbye
Still dancing through the silence every night
Your shadow lingers in the hallway light
Like you never really left my side
Your whiskey kiss still burns on my mind
And every lonely song cuts like a knife
I keep reaching for what ain’t there to find
Living with the ghost of your goodbye
Verse 3
Thinking of you in every breath I take
Haunted by your every memory
Wishing you were still here holding me
Whiskey smells like we were meant to be
How could I have not fought harder
I feel so weak now with the shadows left behind
You’re still here in my mind
(Bridge)
Maybe love don’t leave when people do
Maybe hearts keep holding onto truth
Maybe I’m still somewhere in your rearview too
(Final Chorus)
Oh, the ghost of your goodbye
Keeps waking me up in the dead of night
Your memory’s a flame I can’t outrun
A faded photograph beneath the sun
And no matter how hard I try
You’re still the ache I can’t untie
Yeah, I’m still holding onto what died
Living with the ghost of your goodbye
(Outro)
Left with your indentation in the bed
And all the words we never said…
