(Verse 1)
The sun is setting on our final goodbye
A golden wash of light, a tear in my eye
I've held your hand through the storms and the rain
But my love became a burden, a source of your pain
(Chorus)
And as a last gesture of love, I will disappear from your life
I'll fade away like the ghost of a wife
'Cause your happiness is worth more than my breath
And this final sacrifice is all that I have left
(Verse 2)
I remember the dreams we built, a house of cards in the air
But the foundation was fragile, a silent, unsaid prayer
I tried to fix it, to make us whole again
But my presence became the lock, and you needed a friend
(Chorus)
And as a last gesture of love, I will disappear from your life
I'll fade away like the ghost of a wife
'Cause your happiness is worth more than my breath
And this final sacrifice is all that I have left
(Bridge)
The thought of you smiling with someone new
It’s a bittersweet poison, a beautiful, painful truth
I'll walk into the darkness, a shadow in the night
Knowing you're finally free, bathed in a brighter light
(Chorus)
And as a last gesture of love, I will disappear from your life
I'll fade away like the ghost of a wife
'Cause your happiness is worth more than my breath
And this final sacrifice is all that I have left
