Lyrics
Ghost in the Room
[2025/03/06]
[Verse 1]
Pour two cups of coffee,
then dump one down the drain.
Talk to you like youre listening,
but don't try to explain.
Left your sweater on the chair,
Hoping maybe youd come back.
But it hangs there, still and quiet,
I can't accept the fact.
[Chorus]
Youre a ghost in the room.
Lost in deep shadows.
A name on my phone.
I dont dare to press.
You're everywhere except in view,
It's so hard here without you.
You're a ghost in the room.
Ghost in the room.
[Verse 2]
Reach across to your side of the bed,
but the sheets are always cold.
I curl up on my half instead,
like I did when things got old.
Your voice still echoes down the hall,
like a song stuck in my head.
I keep trying to move along,
but I trip on things I said.
[Chorus]
Youre a ghost in the room.
Lost in deep shadows.
A name on my phone.
I dont dare to press.
You're everywhere except in view,
It's so hard here without you.
You're a ghost in the room.
Ghost in the room.
[Bridge]
Maybe love doesn't leave but lingers,
like perfume on a sleeve, it remains.
Maybe losing isn't the ending,
but a reminder of what causes my pain!
[Chorus]
Youre a ghost in the room.
Lost in deep shadows.
A name on my phone.
I dont dare to press.
You're everywhere except in view,
It's so hard here without you.
You're a ghost in the room.
Ghost in the room.
[Outro]
Still, pour two cups of coffee,
then dump one down the drain.
Some habits die much slower,
than the love that learned your name.
