Verse 1
There she goes again, down the hallway light
Hair like summer rain, eyes that steal the night
I hold my breath, pretend I'm fine
But every step just breaks the line
Pre-Chorus
She don't even know my name
Or how I smile then hide the pain
I wish that I could turn around
And tell her everything right now
Chorus
But Elly, you're a ghost I can't let go
You're the silence in a crowded room, the ache I never show
We pass by like strangers in a dream
And it's killing me, it's killing me
To love you in between
Verse 2
I’ve got a hundred songs I’ll never sing
A thousand words trapped on a string
I build up hope, then let it fall
She walks on by, I lose it all
Pre-Chorus
If only she would look my way
Just once, and maybe she would stay
But I’m a whisper lost in air
And she just doesn’t care
Chorus
Elly, you're a ghost I can't let go
You're the silence in a crowded room, the ache I never show
We pass by like strangers in a dream
And it's killing me, it's killing me
To love you in between
Bridge
Maybe someday she’ll see me there
Standing still, with too much to bear
But ‘til then I’ll just pretend
That maybe this ain’t the end
Final Chorus
Elly, you're the light I’ll never hold
The page I turn but never read, the story left untold
We pass by, my heart stuck on repeat
And it's breaking me, it's breaking me
To love you in defeat
Outro
There she goes again, and I just sigh
Another day, just passing by
