[Verse 1] Scars and stains on a beaten heart Torn up shoes right from the start Looking in the mirror at the crack Wondering if I can ever turn it back Every shadow carries what I missed Ghost of someone sitting on my list Chasing down an echo in the dark [Pre-Chorus] She's so much taller, she's so much brave Running circles right above my grave Hold your breath, don't look down She's the queen of this whole town [Chorus] Ghost of who I could have been Chasing me through thick and thin I stumble through the best I know And let the phantom shadows go Ghost of who I could have been Telling me I'll never win I'm holding onto right right now Embracing every single flaw somehow [Verse 2] Coffee spills on a dirty floor Knocking softly on an open door Tripping up on every single step Living out the promises I kept She's a masterpiece I'll never reach Walking down a distant golden beach While I'm standing right here in the rain [Pre-Chorus] She's so much taller, she's so much brave Running circles right above my grave Hold your breath, don't look down She's the queen of this whole town [Chorus] Ghost of who I could have been Chasing me through thick and thin I stumble through the best I know And let the phantom shadows go Ghost of who I could have been Telling me I'll never win I'm holding onto right right now Embracing every single flaw somehow [Bridge] At the edge of what I thought I'd be I turn around and finally look at me She can keep her crown of endless light I'll take the mess and make it mine tonight [Final Chorus] Ghost of who I could have been Chasing me through thick and thin I stumble through the best I know And let the phantom shadows go Ghost of who I could have been Telling me I'll never win I'm holding onto right right now Embracing every single flaw somehow
