You still linger in the smoke Like a name I never spoke I walk past that street at night But I don’t stop beneath the light I could dig up what we had But all I’d find is broken glass You said we'd never drift apart But you let go before the start Now I'm the ghost of who we were Caught between the pain and the blur You can keep your empty words They won’t reach me, not this time You let it die slow Now I’m letting go You thought I’d beg for one more chance But I’m not stuck in the past I learned to walk with quiet feet No more echoes underneath You played god with what we felt Left me fighting with myself You said I’d come back around But you won’t find me in this town Now I'm the ghost of who we were Caught between the pain and the blur You can keep your empty words They won’t reach me, not this time You let it die slow Now I’m letting go Was I too much? Or just too real? You never said how you really feel But I learned love ain't built on doubt So I burned the rest to drown you out Now I'm the ghost of who we were And you're a name I barely slur You can haunt that memory But it don’t live inside of me You’re just flesh and bone You said forever, I said goodbye We both changed — and that's just life
