Ghosts of Us

*verse 1* In the twilight glow of fading lights I held you hand through endless nights But the flame you chased, it burned so bright While I watched your shadow drift from sight Each whispered promise, a bitter lie I tried to catch you, but I couldn't fly As needles spun your heart away You traded love for hollow days *chorus* Oh, can't you see how you've torn me apart? These ghosts of us linger in my heart You once were the song that danced in my mind Now you're just a haunting whisper, left behind *verse 2* The nights grew cold, the laughter ceased In your arms, I felt like a ghost, not the least Chasing your shadows, I fought so hard But every embrace felt like you were marred You wore your sorrow like an old, tattered coat While I drowned in silence, unable to float I grieved the love that slipped through my hands And felt the weight of unspoken plans *chorus* Oh, can't you see how you've torn me apart? These ghosts of us linger in my heart You once were the song that danced in my mind Now you're just a haunting whisper, left behind *bridge* So, tell me, where do we bury the blame? Was it the distance or the needle's game? I'm left here standing in the wreck you've made Would I have stayed if your demons weren't played? With every tear that falls upon this ground I search for healing, but I'm lost, never found *chorus* Oh, can't you see how you've torn me apart? These ghosts of us linger in my heart You once were the song that danced in my mind Now you're just a haunting whisper, left behind *Outro* And I wonder if I'll ever move on With the memory of you forever drawn A bittersweet lesson wrapped in pain I'll carry your ghost, as my heart breaks again *Outro 2* As my heart breaks again...as my heart breaks again As my heart.....breaks....again
