Ghost in Lingerie

[Verse 1] I found her dress in the back of your drawer Lipstick smudge like a closing door She’s long gone, but not from this bed I sleep where she used to lay her head Her scent is sewn into your skin And I breathe it in just to feel like I’ve been The one you dream of when you shift at night But I know she still haunts your light [Chorus] She’s a ghost in lingerie And I wear her like a secret I can’t shake Slipping into what she left behind Trying to fit in her outline I don’t want you—I want her Or maybe I want to be her first I kiss you just to see If she still tastes you more than me [Verse 2] I drink her wine, I hum her song Try on her laugh when no one’s on She wore sorrow like perfume And you breathe it when I walk in the room I found a letter with no date And I read it slow just to feel her hate I trace her curves in your sheets at night Wondering if I’ll ever feel that right [Chorus – repeat with more ache] She’s a ghost in lingerie Still curls around you in the grey And I undress like I’m second skin But baby, I never sink in I don’t want your hands, not really I want the way she made you needy I kiss you just to see If she still tastes you more than me [Bridge – hush and hollow] Maybe I’m just a mirror Maybe she’s what I pretend to be But you moan like she’s nearer And I disappear beneath [Final Chorus – soft, breaking] She’s a ghost in lingerie Still slips through every word you say I could burn her name from the door But I’d only want her more I’m not jealous, I’m just caught In the shape of what she left hot I kiss you, but I see She’s still the one touching you through me
