"The Ghost Between Us"
Verse 1
You say my name but your eyes look past
To someone who left you half in the past
I'm holding your hand but you're tracing her lines
A love that was never really mine
Pre-chorus
And I can't fight a shadow I can't see
You gave your heart to a memory
Chorus
Oh, relationships don't work this way
When you're still in love with yesterday
I can't heal the wounds I never made
And I won't be your bandage just to watch you fade
You're trying to move on just to prove you're strong
But proving to her don't mean you're not gone
Don't use my heart as your medicine then leave
The ghost between us is more than I can breathe
Verse 2
You carry your fears like keys to a cage
Locked by someone else's rage
I didn't break you, I can't make you whole
But you're bleeding on a soul that never broke your bones
Pre-chorus
And I won't be the bridge you burn to feel
Like surviving her was even real
Chorus
Bridge
What if I'm just the stop before you run
Back to the war you never won?
What if my love is just your practice ground
Till you're ready to not break down?
Outro
So I'll leave the door without a fight
You can't find yourself in someone else's night
And I deserve more than a tool to mend
Then goodbye when the hurting ends
Fade:
Don't use my heart as your medicine then leave
The ghost between us is more than I can breathe
