LYRIC FOR SALE

By Mily

I still set the table for two every night,
Though your chair stays cold and the candles burn white
Your shadow still dances on walls in my mind
I whisper your name, but it fades with the time

And I wear your hoodie like a second skin
Like maybe the scent might bring you back in

You're the ghost in my heart, you don't fade, you don't leave
You're the storm in my chest, every breath that I breathe
I keep reaching for you in the dark of the night
But you're just a memory wrapped up in light
And it breaks me apart
You're the ghost in my heart

I’ve kissed other lips but they all taste like lies
No one sees the ache buried deep in my eyes
I smile on the surface, pretend I’ve moved on
But truth is you’re still where I truly belong

I write you in songs that the world doesn’t hear
Just echoes of you that I hold near

You're the ghost in my heart, you don’t fade, you don’t leave
You're the storm in my chest, every breath that I breathe
I keep reaching for you in the dark of the night
But you're just a memory wrapped up in light
And it breaks me apart
You're the ghost in my heart

And maybe one day I’ll forget your face
But never the way that you made me feel safe
If love is a war, then I’ve lost every fight
Still dreaming of you every damn night

You're the ghost in my heart, you don’t fade, you don’t leave
You're the fire and ash that still burns underneath
I keep calling for you when the silence gets loud
But you’re just a promise that time won’t allow
Yeah, you tore me apart
Still, you’re the ghost in my heart
