Loving a Ghost

(ahhhh) Your keys are gone from the kitchen counter

The silence in this house is getting louder

I still reach across the mattress in the dark Only to remember

how we fell apart

I see your shape by the window pane

But it’s just the moonlight playing tricks again

Now I’m sweeping up the pieces of a broken heart

Trying to figure out how a good thing falls apart Every memory

we made

is like a jagged spark Cutting through the dark,

tearing me apart

Yeah, the hardest part of letting go

Is loving a ghost

of the girl I used to know

I found your old flannel in the laundry bin

Smelling like the summer that we started in

It’s funny how a habit is so hard to break Like calling

your number by a cruel mistake I leave a text that I'll

never send

Just wishing I could change the way we hit the end

They say time heals everything if you give it space

But time can't seem to erase the look on your face

When you walked out that door and into the rain

Leaving me here to inherit the pain

Now I’m sweeping up the pieces of a broken heart Trying to

figure out how a good thing falls apart Every memory we made

is like a jagged spark Cutting through the dark,

tearing me apart Yeah,

the hardest part of letting go

Is loving a ghost of the girl I used to know

(ooh yeah)

Yeah, a broken heart...

Just sitting here in the dark

Watching the taillights fade

Look at the mess we made
