[Verse 1] Old house leaning by the graveyard shoreline Paint peeled back like a long lost lie I trace names cut in the weathered headstones Asking who learned how to say goodbye [Chorus] I keep walking with the ghosts beside me Step by step on this broken road Every scar is a story that finds me I’m still here I’m still carrying the load I keep walking with the ghosts beside me They don’t drag me down anymore They just sing low in my chest like a choir While I move toward the open door [Verse 2] Cold rain tapping on the rusted railings My heart beats slow Steady as my breath You said “truth always tastes a little bitter” I taste it now and I don’t fear the depth [Chorus] I keep walking with the ghosts beside me Step by step on this broken road Every scar is a story that finds me I’m still here I’m still carrying the load I keep walking with the ghosts beside me They don’t drag me down anymore They just sing low in my chest like a choir While I move toward the open door [Bridge] Let the past talk I won’t answer Let the grief rise I won’t drown I learned mercy In the mirror I found solid In this haunted town (oh) [Chorus] I keep walking with the ghosts beside me Step by step on this broken road Every scar is a story that finds me I’m still here I’m still carrying the load I keep walking with the ghosts beside me They don’t drag me down anymore They just hum low underneath my breathing As I lean through the final door
