Ghost I’ll Leave Behind

[Verse 1] You said forever like it was nothing, Words so sweet, but they meant bluffing. Built a dream, but it was hollow, Your love was a lie I had to swallow. Promises scattered like glass on the floor, You walked away, left me wanting more. Thought you were my future, my every star, But now I see who you really are. [Pre-Chorus] Your love was sugar, but the taste was fake, Sweet on the lips but a bitter mistake. Every moment’s a crack in the frame, Now all I’m left with is your name. [Chorus] Take your words, take your lies, Take the tears I cried. You don’t own this heart of mine, Not this time, not this time. Burn the pictures, let them fade, Every memory we made. You’re the ghost I’ll leave behind, Not this time, not this time. [Verse 2] I played the fool, I wore the blindfold, Believed the stories that you told. You were the sun, but your warmth was cold, Now I see the truth unfold. I don’t need your empty sorries, Keep your guilt and borrowed glories. Love shouldn’t hurt, shouldn’t make me small, Now I’m standing tall after the fall. [Pre-Chorus] Your love was sugar, but the taste was fake, Sweet on the lips but a bitter mistake. Every moment’s a crack in the frame, Now all I’m left with is your name. [Chorus] Take your words, take your lies, Take the tears I cried. You don’t own this heart of mine, Not this time, not this time. Burn the pictures, let them fade, Every memory we made. You’re the ghost I’ll leave behind, Not this time, not this time. [Bridge] I’m done chasing what we could never be, I’ve found strength in breaking free. No regrets, no looking back, I’m running forward on my own track. [Chorus] Take your words, take your lies, Take the tears I cried. You don’t own this heart of mine, Not this time, not this time. Burn the pictures, let them fade, Every memory we made. You’re the ghost I’ll leave behind, Not this time, not this time. [Outro] You said forever, I said goodbye, You can’t hurt me, don’t even try. Turn the page, close the door, You’re not my story anymore. [Instrumental Breakdown] [Drop] [Pre-Chorus] Your love was sugar, but the taste was fake, Sweet on the lips but a bitter mistake. Every moment’s a crack in the frame, Now all I’m left with is your name. [Chorus] Take your words, take your lies, Take the tears I cried. You don’t own this heart of mine, Not this time, not this time. Burn the pictures, let them fade, Every memory we made. You’re the ghost I’ll leave behind, Not this time, not this time. [Verse] You called it love, but it felt like war, Fighting just to matter more. Every hug was laced with doubt, Now I know what I’m without. The scars you left, I wear with pride, Proof I made it out alive. You lost the right to hold my hand, Now I build the life you never planned. [Pre-Chorus] Your love was sugar, but the taste was fake, Sweet on the lips but a bitter mistake. Every moment’s a crack in the frame, Now all I’m left with is your name. [Chorus] Take your words, take your lies, Take the tears I cried. You don’t own this heart of mine, Not this time, not this time. Burn the pictures, let them fade, Every memory we made. You’re the ghost I’ll leave behind, Not this time, not this time. [Outro] You said forever, I said goodbye, You can’t hurt me, don’t even try. Turn the page, close the door, You’re not my story anymore.
