Ghost of Me

Verse 1

I still leave the light on

Like you're coming home tonight

There's a shadow in the hallway

And I swear it looks like you sometimes

I deleted all our pictures

But I know them all by heart

Funny how you can erase someone

But never where they left their mark

Pre-Chorus

And I don't wanna hate you

Just to make it hurt less

I don't wanna call it nothing

When you were all I had left

Chorus

If we were meant to be

Would you still be next to me?

Would I know the way you breathe

Without having to dream?

If we were meant to last

Why am I still living in the past?

Maybe love is letting go

Of the only home you've ever known

If we were meant to be...

Why weren't we?

Verse 2

I wonder if you talk about me

Like I never really mattered

Did you find somebody better

Or just someone who hurts you less?

I still hear you in the silence

I still feel you in my sleep

And the worst part isn't losing you

It's losing who I used to be

Pre-Chorus

And I don't wanna blame you

For the things we couldn't fix

But if you ever really loved me

How'd you make it look so easy?

Chorus

If we were meant to be

Would you still be next to me?

Would I know the way you breathe

Without having to dream?

If we were meant to last

Why am I still living in the past?

Maybe love is letting go

Of the only home you've ever known

If we were meant to be...

Why weren't we?

Bridge — almost whispered

Maybe in another lifetime

We don't ruin what we touch

Maybe I don't learn to hate myself

For ever loving you this much

Maybe somewhere, you're still mine

Maybe somewhere, I don't cry

Maybe somewhere, we get it right...

But not this time.

Final Chorus — emotional, powerful

If we were meant to be

Why'd you leave a ghost of me?

I'm still everything we were

You're just someone I once knew

And if we meet again someday

Will we look the other way?

Will I feel it all again

Or will you finally feel like then?

If we were meant to be...

Maybe you'll come back to me.

Or maybe you were meant to leave.
