[Verse 1]
Same halls, a cheerleader’s eyes
Found me there, I can’t say why
In a place I came undone
Felt like more than just someone
Late night talks, no need to pretend
Two lost souls just tryin’ to bend
For a moment I felt clean
Like I wasn’t what I’d been
[Pre-Chorus]
Felt like somethin’ breakin’ through
But I didn’t know what to do
[Chorus]
I got ghosts I carry now
Every face, every sound
Every chance I let fall through
Every “I should’ve” I knew
I keep walkin’, but they stay
Right beside me every day
I’m still breathin’, still around
But I feel ‘em weigh me down
[Verse 2]
Met a brother in that place
Real talk, no mask to face
He saw through what I’d become
Still stood there when I’d run
Said we’d make it, said we’d change
Swore we’d break out of the same
But I slipped and let him down
Turned my back, left the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Thought I’d have more time to fix
All the things I let go miss
[Chorus]
I got ghosts I carry now
Every word I didn’t shout
Every time I walked away
Every moment I delayed
I keep walkin’, but they stay
Right beside me every day
I’m still breathin’, still around
But I feel ‘em weigh me down
[Bridge]
He ain’t here… and I don’t know why
But I feel it every time I try
If I stayed, if I fought, if I didn’t leave…
Would he still be here with me?
[Final Chorus]
I got ghosts I carry now
And I don’t know how to set ‘em down
Every life I couldn’t save
Every choice that dug a grave
I keep breathin’, don’t know why
When better men didn’t survive
I’m still here, still around…
But I carry ‘em now
[Outro]
In that place I fell apart
I still remember her heart
And the ones I couldn’t keep…
