I [intro] [Verse 1] Your smile’s a spark, lights up this old front porch, But there’s a shadow in it, like a flame that’s lost its torch. You say you’re mine, and I hold you close at night, But when you stare off distant, it don’t feel right. I catch you hummin’ that song he used to play, On that scratched-up vinyl from your reckless days. Your lips say “love,” but your heart’s still holdin’ time, And I’m just a man tryin’ to claim what ain’t mine. [Chorus] I still see him in your eyes, like a ghost that won’t let go, In the quiet of the midnight, where your secrets start to show. Every time you look away, I feel the truth you can’t disguise, I’m holdin’ you, but losin’ you—I still see him in your eyes. [Verse 2] We dance in the kitchen to the radio’s soft hum, But I feel you driftin’ to a place I can’t come. Your hand’s in mine, but your mind’s on some old road, Chasin’ memories of a love that left you cold. I see his name in the way you pause and sigh, Like a weight you carry that I can’t untie. I’d give my all to be the one who sets you free, But his shadow’s still the one you see. [Chorus] I still see him in your eyes, like a ghost that won’t let go, In the quiet of the midnight, where your secrets start to show. Every time you look away, I feel the truth you can’t disguise, I’m holdin’ you, but losin’ you—I still see him in your eyes. [interlude] [Bridge] I ain’t him, and I can’t fight a memory, But I’d burn down the past if it’d bring you back to me. Your heart’s a house with a room I’ll never find, And I’m stuck outside, lovin’ what’s left behind. [Chorus] I still see him in your eyes, like a ghost that won’t let go, In the quiet of the midnight, where your secrets start to show. Every time you look away, I feel the truth you can’t disguise, I’m holdin’ you, but losin’ you—I still see him in your eyes. [interlude] [Outro] So I’ll kiss you soft, and I’ll pray you’ll realize, I’m here, but he’s still there—I still see him in your eyes. [Fade out]
