Ghost of Us

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your hoodie still hangs by the door Like you might walk in again I leave the porch light on for hours Then I let it die again Your name sits heavy on my tongue Like a stone I can’t confess I keep your texts in a cracked old phone Like a ghost I can’t undress [Pre-Chorus] And I hate that I still check When the screen goes dark I swear I’m moving on Then you pull me back apart One more memory Cuts right through my chest I try to let you go But you know me best [Chorus] Ghost of us, stay away Ghost of us, don’t call my name I still reach, I still fall You still haunt the hollow hall Ghost of us, in my veins Ghost of us, kill me slow again I want peace, I want out But I keep you in my mouth (Ghost of us) (Ghost of us) [Verse 2] Your laugh is locked in my ribs Like a song I can’t erase I see you in the mirror glass Then the room changes shape I’ve been kissing all the pain Like it might turn into you I wear the bruise of what we were Like it’s something I can choose [Pre-Chorus] And I hate that I still check When the screen goes dark I swear I’m moving on Then you pull me back apart One more memory Cuts right through my chest I try to let you go But you know me best [Chorus] Ghost of us, stay away Ghost of us, don’t call my name I still reach, I still fall You still haunt the hollow hall Ghost of us, in my veins Ghost of us, kill me slow again I want peace, I want out But I keep you in my mouth (Ghost of us) (Ghost of us) [Bridge] If I burn every letter Would the ache still know my hands? If I build a new life Would you still ruin my plans? The choir in my head says leave But my heart won’t understand I keep drowning in the part of me That still wants what we had [Final Chorus] Ghost of us, stay away Ghost of us, don’t call my name I still reach, I still fall You still haunt the hollow hall Ghost of us, in my veins Ghost of us, kill me slow again I want peace, I want out But I keep you in my mouth (Ghost of us) (Ghost of us)
