Ghost Girl

Lyrics

(Verse 1) Every night when the silence breaks She drifts in through the cracks of fate Like smoke she curls around my mind A phantom love I’ll never find She doesn’t speak, but I hear her sighs Beneath the stars, behind closed eyes She reaches out with broken hands And pulls me into no-man’s land (Pre-Chorus) I ask her name, she disappears Fading out with all my fears She’s just a shadow I can’t keep A haunted heart inside my sleep (Chorus) She’s the ghost in my sleep, the ache in my chest A dream I forget, but I feel it the best I wake up alone with the scent of her skin But she’s never been real, she’s never been in This world of mine — just in my head A love that’s alive, though we never met She’s a ghost in my sleep, and I’m chasing a lie Falling for someone who already died (Verse 2) I try to stay awake all day But every night she finds a way She dances through my fractured thoughts A melody that time forgot She smiles with lips that never spoke A tragic verse, an endless note She fades with dawn like morning mist And leaves me longing for a kiss (Pre-Chorus) I reach for her — she turns to dust Another dream built on my trust A soul I swear I’ve always known But when I wake, I’m still alone (Chorus) She’s the ghost in my sleep, the ache in my chest A dream I forget, but I feel it the best I wake up alone with the scent of her skin But she’s never been real, she’s never been in This world of mine — just in my head A love that’s alive, though we never met She’s a ghost in my sleep, and I’m chasing a lie Falling for someone who already died (Bridge) I built a life around her name But I don’t even know it — that’s the shame Is she memory or fantasy? Or just what loneliness does to me? (Breakdown) She’s not here, but she’s all I see A love song played in minor key A fading flame that never burned A lesson I have never learned (Final Chorus) She’s the ghost in my sleep, the pain that I crave A beautiful wound I’ll never save I wake up with tears and nothing to hold Just whispers and echoes, and dreams growing cold She’s the ghost in my sleep — always just out of reach A truth wrapped in silence, a lie I still preach I loved her the moment she faded away And I’ll dream of her night after night ’til I fray
