(Intro) (Soft, reverb-drenched guitar chime) (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Verse 1 Another day and my heart still hurts Leaving you alone is the kindness that never comes I stand in the doorway, watching you work Holding onto my hopes I know I shouldn’t keep My shoes feel heavy on the office floor Every quiet step is a pull toward the door Chorus And I feel hollow where your laughter was I'm finding sorrow inside this quiet pause I’d rather be a better ghost than a heavy heart Wandering off before we pull each other apart Yeah, a better ghost than a heavy heart (Ooh-ooh) Verse 2 Left my feelings on the counter by my favorite mug Trading the warmth of your morning hug For a different office and a lonely road Carrying the weight so you don't share the load You deserve the sunrise without my shadow's trace A clean horizon in an empty space Chorus And I feel hollow where your laughter was I'm finding sorrow inside this quiet pause I’d rather be a better ghost than a heavy heart Wandering off before we pull each other apart Yeah, a better ghost than a heavy heart Bridge I Love you enough to know I am the storm I Love you too much to keep you from finding love’s warmth So I’ll try to vanish slowly from your life I’ll be Like a quiet memory that you’ll barely miss Guitar Solo / Instrumental Interlude (Dreamy, chorus-drenched guitar swells and vintage synth pads) Chorus And I feel hollow where your laughter was I'm finding sorrow inside this quiet pause I’d rather be a better ghost than a heavy heart Wandering off before we pull each other apart Outro A better ghost... Just a whisper in your heart... A heavy heart... Leaving you alone is where my pain starts. (Fade out on arpeggiated guitar chords and breathing vocals)
