Your Ghost

Intro

Cold wind on my window, I stare at the glass

Night drags me backwards, trapped in the past

Every clock ticking is another mistake

If I'd seen the warning, what would I change?

Verse 0

I remember the laughter, the comfort before

Now all that remains are shoes by your door

Promises empty, lost to the dark

I'm swallowed by echoes that tear me apart

Verse 1

Woke up from a dream where your voice called my name

Pictures in the drawer, nothing feels the same

Broken frames on the floor, screams behind the door

Wish I could have stopped what you went through before

Pre-Chorus

Heavy on my chest, every sleepless night

I replay the moment, searching for the fight

Chorus

I wasn't there to protect you, now I'm left with just your ghost

The silence tears my world in two, memories haunt me the most

If life goes on after it ends, I'll find him in the shade

Retribution for your pain, it won't ever fade

Post-Chorus

Oh, your ghost, your ghost

Your ghost, your ghost

Verse 2

Steps echo in the hall, shadow on the wall

Regret biting deep, can't undo it all

Rage boils in my veins at the thought of his face

I swear on your name, he won't escape this place

Pre-Chorus

Grief like a fire, burning all I know

I'll chase his footsteps until justice shows

Chorus

I wasn't there to protect you, now I'm left with just your ghost

The silence tears my world in two, memories haunt me the most

If life goes on after it ends, I'll find him in the shade

Retribution for your pain, it won't ever fade

Post-Chorus

Your ghost, your ghost

Oh, your ghost

Bridge

Rain hits the pavement as I walk alone

Restless and angry, so far from home

If there's a reckoning past the lines we cross

I'll drag his shadow to pay for what I lost

Chorus

I wasn't there to protect you, I'm condemned by what I know

No redemption, just the aching truth that follows where I go

If there's another world beyond, I'll find him where he hides

Justice for your shattered heart, until the pain subsides

Post-Chorus

Your ghost, your ghost

Haunts me most, your ghost

Your ghost, your ghost

Outro

Streetlights flicker out as I walk through the gloom

Still searching for answers, alone with the truth

If time ever bends or the distance breaks

You’ll find me on the edge, caught in what it takes

I see you in flashes when my anger won’t rest

Your ghost is my shadow stitched into my chest

And when peace is a fiction I cannot create

I'll wander beside you outside heaven’s gate

Your ghost, your ghost

Still follows close

Your ghost, your ghost

Won’t let me go
