Ghost Of Your Name

I'm still waking up to silence
Half your shadow on my floor
Coffee getting cold beside me
But I don't drink it anymore

Every street still knows your footsteps
Every song still sounds the same
I keep reaching for the doorway
Hoping you might say my name

And I tried to be stronger now
But the nights pull me back somehow

Now I'm holding onto memories
Like they're all I have left of you
I was safe inside your heartbeat
Now I'm lost without the truth

And every light inside this city
Feels colder than it used to be
I was somebody with you beside me
Now you're just a ghost of your name to me

People say that time will heal me
But time just teaches how to hide
So I laugh when they are watching
Then fall apart most every night

There's a space beside the window
Where you used to watch the rain
And I swear I hear you breathing
Every time I speak your name

And I know I should let go somehow
But my heart still waits around

Now I'm holding onto memories
Like they're all I have left of you
I was safe inside your heartbeat
Now I'm lost without the truth

And every light inside this city
Feels colder than it used to be
I was somebody with you beside me
Now you're just a ghost of your name to me

If love fades away like smoke
Why does your goodbye still burn?
If you're gone beyond the distance
Why do I still hope you'll return?

Now I'm drowning in the echoes
Of the life we almost knew
Trying hard to keep breathing
In a world that's missing you

And every star above this lonely sky
Reminds me what we used to be
I was somebody with you beside me
Now I'm learning how to live with me

Oh
You're still the part I cannot leave
The ghost of your name inside of me
