Please check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@firstep3 I hear footsteps on the hardwood floor, when I turn, it ain't there no more. A whisper slips through the midnight air, I spin around, but there's no one there. The shadows move when the lights are low, a chill runs deep that I can't let go. I tell myself it's just the breeze, but it still brings me to my knees. It's like she's here but out of sight, hangin' 'round me every night. I close my eyes, but she won't fade, inside my dreams is where she's stayed. No matter what I try to do, a sense of dread comes creepin' through, but it's no ghost that's haunting me, you see it's just her memory. I hear laughter echo down the hall, but when I look, nothin's there at all. I swear I feel her touch my hand, then I blink, and it's gone again. I hear her voice singin' that old song, the one I've missed for far too long. I know I'm reachin', and it's not real, but I can't hide from how I feel feel. It's like she's here but out of sight, hangin' 'round me every night. I close my eyes, but she won't fade, inside my dreams is where she's stayed. No matter what I try to do, a sense of dread comes creepin' through, but it's no ghost that's haunting me, you see it's just her memory. If love's a curse, then I'm possessed, her heart still beats inside my chest. No priest of prayer can set me free, she's got complete control of me. It's like she's here but out of sight, hangin' 'round me every night. I close my eyes, but she won't fade, inside my dreams is where she's stayed. No matter what I try to do, a sense of dread comes creepin' through, but it's no ghost that's haunting me, you see it's just her memory.
