I left the light on in the hallway Your shadow lingers in the doorframe I hear the echoes of the things we said The quiet's louder in your absence I trace the edges of the photograph The colors fading, but I can't go back It's like you're here, but just out of reach A half-forgotten melody Pre-Chorus: And I know it's late, but I'm still awake Haunted by the words I couldn't say Chorus: I'm almost home, but it doesn't feel right The house is standing still, but the walls feel tight Your ghost is everywhere, I can't let go It hurts to heal when you're almost home Verse 2: I tried to fill the empty spaces With broken smiles and strangers' faces But every room has still got your name Like nothing's changed, but everything's changed Pre-Chorus: And I see your face in every mistake It's a lesson learned, but it's too late Chorus: I'm almost home, but it doesn't feel right The house is standing still, but the walls feel tight Your ghost is everywhere, I can't let go It hurts to heal when you're almost home Bridge: Time's a thief, and I'm the witness Caught in between the pain and forgiveness I wish I could turn back the clock But the road back to you is the one I lost Chorus: I'm almost home, but it doesn't feel right The house is standing still, but the walls feel tight Your ghost is everywhere, I can't let go It hurts to heal when you're almost home Outro: I left the light on in the hallway In case you find your way back someday
