Still your Ghost

Verse 1

I found your picture in a box tonight

Faded edges, same old smile

Funny how a moment frozen in time

Can still break me after a while

We were young and we burned too fast

Said forever like it couldn’t crack

Now I trace your name in the quiet dark

And wonder if you’d take me back

 

Pre-Chorus

I tried to drown you in someone new

But every road just led to you

 

Chorus

I still see your face when I close my eyes

Still hear your laugh in the dead of night

I’d give anything just to hold you again

Feel your heartbeat next to mine

I miss the scent of your perfume

The way your hair fell through my hands

After all these years you’re still the truth

I wish I was back in your arms again

 

Verse 2

I drive past streets where we used to be

Like ghosts still walking there

Your shadow dancing in passenger seats

But no one’s really there

I told myself I’d let you go

That time would dull the pain

But love like ours don’t fade away

It just learns how to remain

 

Pre-Chorus

I keep your memory close somehow

Like it’s the only home I’ve found

 

Chorus

I still see your face when I close my eyes

Still hear your laugh in the dead of night

I’d give anything just to hold you again

Feel your heartbeat next to mine

I miss the scent of your perfume

The way your hair fell through my hands

After all these years you’re still the truth

I wish I was back in your arms again

 

Bridge

If you ever think of me

When the world gets cold and grey

Just know there’s someone here

Who never walked away

I’d cross every mile between

Just to hear you say my name

But some loves live forever

Even when they can’t be saved

 

Final Chorus

I still see your face when I close my eyes

Still whisper prayers into the night

That somewhere you remember me

And everything we had

I miss the scent of your perfume

And the comfort of your skin

After all this time I’m still in love

Still wishing I was yours again
