What we used to be

Lyrics

Verse 1
It’s midnight in this empty house, where the silence is way too loud,
I’m starin’ at the walls we painted, but the color’s faded out.
Every picture on the mantel, each one feels like a lie,
‘Cause you’re gone, but your memory won’t say goodbye.

I’m still drinkin’ from your coffee cup, got your scent in the sheets,
Thought I was tough, but the truth is, girl, you cut me deep.
Now I’m sittin’ here with whiskey, starin’ down at the floor,
Thinkin’ ‘bout what we had, wonderin’ what it was all for.

Chorus
You’re the ghost in every room, a shadow I can’t shake,
Tryin’ to move on, but my heart just won’t break.
We were fire, burnin’ high, thought we’d never run cold,
But love’s a cruel game when you’re left out in the fold.
Now I’m here, pickin’ up the pieces of what we used to be,
But it’s hard lettin’ go when you’re still haunting me.

Verse 2
I drive around this small town, seein’ you at every turn,
Passed the diner where we laughed, now it just makes me burn.
All these barstools and neon lights, they don’t mean a thing,
Tried drownin’ you in whiskey, but the memories still sting.

I hear our song on the radio, but I just turn it off,
Every note reminds me of the love I thought we’d got.
So I keep drivin’ aimlessly, tryin’ to find myself again,
But the road to forgettin’ is a never-ending spin.

Chorus
You’re the ghost in every room, a shadow I can’t shake,
Tryin’ to move on, but my heart just won’t break.
We were fire, burnin’ high, thought we’d never run cold,
But love’s a cruel game when you’re left out in the fold.
Now I’m here, pickin’ up the pieces of what we used to be,
But it’s hard lettin’ go when you’re still haunting me.

Bridge
I thought time would heal, that I’d be okay,
But it’s harder movin’ on with each passin’ day.
You’re the ghost in my head, and I’m tired of this fight,
But love don’t fade easy, even on a lonely night.

Chorus
You’re the ghost in every room, a shadow I can’t shake,
Tryin’ to move on, but my heart just won’t break.
We were fire, burnin’ high, thought we’d never run cold,
But love’s a cruel game when you’re left out in the fold.
Now I’m here, pickin’ up the pieces of what we used to be,
But it’s hard lettin’ go when you’re still haunting me.

Outro
So I’ll keep pourin’ drinks and tryin’ to forget,
But each drop reminds me that you’re my biggest regret.
Maybe one day I’ll be free, but for now, I’ll just be
The man haunted by what we used to be.
