Midnight Echoes of a Ghost

Lyrics

[INTRO] I wake up feeling like a ghost in a room with no lights He’s six years younger, I’m older, the age gap’s a riddle His text comes in a flood, then a pause, a sudden middle Hot for a moment, then he's cold, I’m left standing in the rain [VERSE 1] He’s a mystery wrapped in smoke, a fire that’s burned through again Mixed signals, heart’s in a shuffle Love’s a game, he keeps the cards hidden I’m waiting, hoping, but the clock’s ticking [CHORUS] In this dance with a ghost, I keep flicking He said he wanted more, we’d go out, see the city’s light Then he flipped, “not ready,” and said we need a break tonight I stayed in his arms, the night was bright, but the morning was empty [VERSE 2] He called me back to cuddle, to lose myself in his remedy Mixed signals, heart’s in a shuffle Love’s a game, he keeps the cards hidden I’m waiting, hoping, but the clock’s ticking [CHORUS] In this dance with a ghost, I keep flicking I feel the pull, the push, the tug of a siren’s song He’s a phantom in the night, a flicker that won’t stay I’m chasing shadows that fade away [BRIDGE] I’m learning to breathe without him by my side The night is still loud, but I hear my own pulse inside The city lights blur, but my path is clear I’ll step out of the echo and find a new frontier [CHORUS] In this dance with a ghost, I keep flicking No more waiting, no more guessing, I’ll take the final step He may still haunt the corners of my mind But I’m moving forward, leaving the ghost behind [OUTRO] I wake up feeling like a ghost in a room with no lights But now I’m a little less lonely, I’m ready to fight.
