Sometimes I still reach for your hand
The ghost of you that I can’t understand
Why you left me here alone
Now all that I can feel is cold
Without you wrapped around me you see
Numb is all I’ll ever be
Hear your footsteps down the hall
Turn to look and try to call
Only to find nothing there
Imagination only, doesn’t seem fair
That you up and left with no warning
I’m the only one who seems to be mourning
And only taking comfort in
The ghost of you from back when
You seemed to love every bit
The charm, the ugly, the hard, the wit
But for some mystery that I don’t know
You slipped through my fingers slow
You left behind a trail of hurt
Of open wounds and your dress shirt
The buttons of which I’d undone
On the night you’d said I was your sun
But clearly you were lying or fibbing at least
Maybe just trying to keep the peace
We were fragile and cracked and you knew that
Our love went from highs and lows to flat
Now you’re nowhere to be found
I’ve tried maps, traps, and crawled on the ground
I’m throwing in the towel, letting you go
For my own sanity, I must go on like a show
But like red skin from a hot sun
The affects of you are far from gone
The ghost of you lingers on
