Ghost of Us

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I keep your shirt on the chair Like you might walk in again Your name still lives in my phone Even when I shake my hand Late-night thought, same old cut That you left in my chest I say I’m done, I swear I’m done Then I miss you the best [Pre-Chorus] Every room feels too small Every wall knows your face I try to move, try to breathe But I fall in the same place If I let go, I break down If I hold on, I bleed You’re the one I can’t keep And the one I still need [Chorus] Ghost of us, don’t leave Ghost of us, don’t sleep (don’t sleep) I’m still here, you know Still in your old scene Ghost of us, come back Ghost of us, please (please) I hate what you do I still want your heat [Verse 2] I read our chats like a curse Till the words go numb You said “we’re fine,” then we weren’t Now I’m stuck where you come from I wear last winter like armor But it barely holds Your laugh is a locked-door echo In the hall of my soul And I hate that I miss What was killing me slow I keep picking the wound Just to see if you know [Pre-Chorus] Every night hits the same Like a wave to the bone I can run from your shadow But I can’t run from home If I let go, I break down If I hold on, I bleed You’re the one I can’t keep And the one I still need [Chorus] Ghost of us, don’t leave Ghost of us, don’t sleep (don’t sleep) I’m still here, you know Still in your old scene Ghost of us, come back Ghost of us, please (please) I hate what you do I still want your heat [Bridge] And if I call, don’t answer I know what that’ll do One more taste of your memory And I’m back in you I built a life from the ashes But your smoke still stains Even when I close my eyes You live in my veins [Final Chorus] Ghost of us, don’t leave Ghost of us, don’t sleep (don’t sleep) I’m still here, you know Still in your old scene Ghost of us, come back Ghost of us, please (please) I hate what you do I still want your heat Ghost of us, don’t leave Ghost of us, don’t sleep I’m still here, you know Still in your old scene
