[Verse 1] You kept my old coat by the door for a month Said you were done, then you checked if I’d come His name in your phone, my voice in your head You sleep beside him, still turn to my side of the bed I know the little tells, how you bite your lip When he says my name by accident, you tighten your grip You buried what we were beneath the chapel floor But something in that house still knows the way to your door [Pre-Chorus] You call it over, say the past is sealed But every quiet room remembers what we healed And when he holds you close, I’m there between A spirit in the space where you wanted me unseen [Chorus] What possessed you to leave me? You're a ghost of the girl, I see. You look haunted, like I was too much, yet not enough. Glad that you left, but missed my touch and love I never left these unhallowed halls. I'm still lurking, inside your mind's walls. Exercise me all you want; you'll compare him to me. I possessed your heart once-- I won't let go so easy. [Verse 2] He gets your Sunday smile, I know the shape it takes I got the midnight truth and all your small mistakes You tell him I was trouble, say you finally found peace Then wake up from a dream and mouth my name beneath your teeth I’m not a saint, I know the wreckage that I made But you still measure every touch against the mess we made You tried to lock the memory, threw the key away I’m the cold draft in the room when he asks if you’re okay [Pre-Chorus] You call it over, say the past is sealed But every quiet room remembers what we healed And when he holds you close, I’m there between A spirit in the space where you wanted me unseen [Chorus] What possessed you to leave me? You're a ghost of the girl, I see. You look haunted, like I was too much, yet not enough. Glad that you left, but missed my touch and love I never left these unhallowed halls. I'm still lurking, inside your mind's walls. Exercise me all you want; you'll compare him to me. I possessed your heart once-- I won't let go so easy. [Bridge] You can burn the letters, salt the threshold stone Tell your friends you’re better, pray you’re not alone But when his hand finds yours, does your pulse betray? Does the room go still when you hear my name? [Final Chorus] What possessed you to leave me? You're a ghost of the girl, I see. You look haunted, like I was too much, yet not enough. Glad that you left, but missed my touch and love I never left these unhallowed halls. I'm still lurking, inside your mind's walls. Exercise me all you want; you'll compare him to me. I possessed your heart once-- I won't let go so easy.
