Verse 1 I drove past the street we used to know And every light still looked the same But somehow everything felt different Without you there beside me The city keeps your shadow hidden In every corner that we touched And sometimes I still turn around Like you'll appear again Pre-Chorus The past doesn't stay behind It follows close sometimes Chorus These ghosts of what was Still walk beside me in the dark Every laugh, every promise Still echoes through my heart And though I know you're gone now Some part of you remains Like whispers in the walls Calling out my name Verse 2 Old songs still stop me cold Like time collapsed without warning Suddenly I'm back inside A moment I can't leave behind I wonder if you think of me The way I still think of you Or if I'm just holding onto Something only I still feel Pre-Chorus Some memories lose their color Yours still burn bright Chorus These ghosts of what was Still walk beside me in the dark Every laugh, every promise Still echoes through my heart And though I know you're gone now Some part of you remains Like whispers in the walls Calling out my name Post-Chorus Whoa-oh-oh, lingering on Whoa-oh-oh, never fully gone Bridge Maybe the people we love Never really leave completely Maybe they stay hidden Inside the lives they changed Final Chorus These ghosts of what was Don't haunt me like before They remind me that something beautiful Existed once And even if it's over now And even if it changed The love still leaves an echo That remains Outro Ghosts in the quiet Of what once was
