[Verse] I wrote a tune for a ghost I never kissed A shadow lover I can’t dismiss Every note is a question I can’t resist A melody that twists and twists [Chorus] You’re the song I didn’t mean to write The presence in the room tonight The phantom sound The phantom sound You’re the song I didn’t mean to write I’m lost inside this lonely light The phantom sound The phantom sound [Verse] The piano keys feel cold and thin Where do you end and I begin? I’m tracing shapes that aren’t there Just singing to the empty air [Chorus] You’re the song I didn’t mean to write The presence in the room tonight The phantom sound The phantom sound You’re the song I didn’t mean to write I’m lost inside this lonely light The phantom sound The phantom sound [break] [intro] [verse] I wrote a tune for a ghost I never kissed A shadow lover I can’t dismiss Every note is a question I can’t resist A melody that twists and twists [chorus] This is a song that never says your name A fire that burns without a flame I trace the lines of a secret game And whisper it all the same [verse] I built a world from a single glance A silent dance a second chance I paint your face in a trance And let the music take the stance [chorus] This is a song that never says your name A fire that burns without a flame I trace the lines of a secret game And whisper it all the same [verse] I write of a love that has no face A tender ache in a hidden place Every chord is a gentle chase A rhythm I cannot erase [chorus] This is a song that never says your name A fire that burns without a flame I trace the lines of a secret game And whisper it all the same [intro] [verse] I wrote a tune for a ghost I never kissed A shadow lover I can’t dismiss Every note is a question I can’t resist A melody that twists and twists [chorus] This is a song that never says your name A fire that burns without a flame I trace the lines of a secret game And whisper it all the same [verse] I built a world from a single glance A silent dance a second chance I paint your face in a trance And let the music take the stance [chorus] This is a song that never says your name A fire that burns without a flame I trace the lines of a secret game And whisper it all the same [verse] I write of a love that has no face A tender ache in a hidden place Every chord is a gentle chase A rhythm I cannot erase [chorus] This is a song that never says your name A fire that burns without a flame I trace the lines of a secret game And whisper it all the same [intro] [verse] I wrote a tune for a ghost I never kissed A shadow lover I can’t dismiss Every note is a question I can’t resist A melody that twists and twists [chorus] This is a song that never says your name A fire that burns without a flame I trace the lines of a secret game And whisper it all the same [verse] I built a world from a single glance A silent dance a second chance I paint your face in a trance And let the music take the stance [chorus] This is a song that never says your name A fire that burns without a flame I trace the lines of a secret game And whisper it all the same [break] [verse] I write of a love that has no face A tender ache in a hidden place Every chord is a gentle chase A rhythm I cannot erase [chorus] This is a song that never says your name A fire that burns without a flame I trace the lines of a secret game And whisper it all the same [break] [Bridge] Maybe you’re just a trick of the mind A peace of heart I couldn't find But I keep playing the same refrain To keep a hold of this sweet pain [Chorus] You’re the song I didn’t mean to write The presence in the room tonight The phantom sound The phantom sound You’re the song I didn’t mean to write I’m lost inside this lonely light The phantom sound The phantom sound [Outro]
