The Ghost of Us

Verse 1

Same silhouette in the hall

You trace it like a map of us

Every door we left ajar

Every secret that we tucked away

I still smell the rain on your skin

From the night you swore you'd stay

Pre-Chorus

But the seasons turned without you

And I learned to hold my breath

Till the ache became a rhythm

Softly beating in my chest

Chorus

We'll never be together again

And I'm learning how to say it

Never be together again

Without my hands shaking

We'll never be together again

So I'm letting the ghost go

Underneath the slow glow

Learning how to live without you

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm-mm

Losing you slowly

Mm-mm-mm

Losing you

Verse 2

I kept your sweater on the chair

Three winters just to feel you near

Then one spring I washed it clean

Let the fabric breathe again

Some love doesn't get to finish

Some rivers just run dry

Pre-Chorus

And I finally stopped pretending

That the ending could change

Your name fell from my soft lips

Like a coin down the drain

Chorus

We'll never be together again

And I'm learning how to say it

Never be together again

Without my hands shaking

We'll never be together again

So I'm letting the ghost go

Underneath the slow glow

Learning how to live without you

Breakdown

I miss you

I miss you

But I'm closing both my eyes

To the love we couldn't keep

To the love we couldn't keep

Chorus

We'll never be together again

That's the truth I'm holding

Never be together again

And I'm finally free of it

We'll never be together again

So I'm letting the ghost go

Underneath the slow glow

Learning how to live without you

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm-mm

Living without you

Mm-mm-mm

Living without you
