**Verse 1** *You trace my name in the dust on his piano,* *A secret chord he’d kill to keep on mute.* *We’re *vinyl cracks* in his polished perfection—* *Love’s a *skip* he’ll never let us loop.* **Pre-Chorus** *He dreams in *symphonies*, we’re a *hushed* duet—* *A *rest* in his score where the *music*’s not met.* **Chorus** ***Ghost note love***—*a melody he’ll never play,* ***Ghost note love***—*we’re whispers in the fray.* *Our hearts beat *staccato*, drowned in his refrain—* ***Ghost note love***—*the song that *dies* in vain.* **Verse 2** *Your smile’s a *flatline* in his *spotlight* glow,* *I’m the *bassline* hidden where his pride won’t go.* *You text me *goodnights* in *deleted blue*—* *A *playlist* of *almosts* he’ll never view.* **Bridge** *The *metronome* slows, your *tears* mark the time—* *A *crescendo* of guilt, a *forte* of crime.* *He’ll *compose* your goodbye, I’ll *fade* like a sigh…* ***Ghost note love***—*the *harmony* asking why.* **Chorus** ***Ghost note love***—*a *sharp* turned *minor* key,* ***Ghost note love***—*the *lyric* he’ll never see.* *We’re *feedback* in his *holy* parade—* ***Ghost note love***—*the *echo* he’ll erase.* **Outro** *Now his *grand piano* gleams, our *song*’s erased—* *Just *sheet music* ghosts in the *case* he’ll never face.* ***Ghost note love***—*we’re *dynamics* too late…* *The *lullaby* lost to his *hate*.*
