Verse 1
I see your name pop up, that little green dot glowing
Like a signal flare for a life I’m not invited to
It’s 11 PM and I know exactly where you’re going
And I hate how much I still know about you

Chorus
I’m haunting your “last seen” again
Searching for a ghost in the timestamps
I’m stuck in the “was” and the “could’ve been”
Watching the glow of my screen like a streetlamp

Verse 2
I refresh the feed just to see if your status changes
Thumb scrolling through a night I wasn’t in
It’s a special kind of hell how a person rearranges
And leaves you outside the life you used to live in

Bridge
I tell my friends I’ve blocked your number
I tell my heart we’re finally through
But in the quiet, just before I fall into slumber
I’m still a spectator to everything you do

Final Chorus
I’m still haunting your “last seen”
Waiting for the light to finally go dark
I’m caught in the static, somewhere in between
Looking for a flame in a dead-end spark

Outro
The screen turns black
And I’m staring at my own reflection

Verse 1
We used to scrape the paint off these walls with our words
Now we just tiptoe around the creaky floorboards
It’s funny how the screaming never hurt
As much as this quiet we can finally afford
Chorus
The silence is ringing in my ears tonight
Heavier than any “goodbye” or “get out”
You don’t have to kill the light
For me to know exactly what we’re about
Verse 2
Two coffee mugs staining the porcelain sink
Side by side, but miles apart
I’m overanalyzing every time you blink
Tracing the cracks where we used to have a heart
Chorus
The silence is ringing in my ears tonight
Heavier than any “goodbye” or “get out”
You don’t have to kill the light
For me to know exactly what we’re about
Bridge
We’re just two ghosts sharing a zip code
Living in the “after” of a life we used to know
No more slamming doors or hitting the road
Just a slow, cold settling like snow
Final Chorus
The silence is the loudest thing in this room
Drowning out every promise we ever made
You don’t have to seal our doom
I can already feel the colors start to fade
Outro
I’m listening to the clock tick
Counting the seconds until you’re officially gone

Verse 1
We were a blurry line, a “maybe” at best
A name you tucked away in a drawer
You kept me like a thought you hadn’t finished yet
But never let me walk through your front door
Chorus
You loved me in draft mode
Always edited, never quite real
Keeping the story from starting to unfold
Afraid of how much you didn’t want to feel
Verse 2
I watched the typing bubbles fade to grey
Your thumb hovering over what you almost said
I was the love you couldn’t quite face
The sentence you left hanging in your head
Bridge
The sun comes up and you’re a ghost again
Fading out before the world can see
If I was your “everything” at 2 AM
Why am I nothing when you’re finally free?
Final Chorus
You loved me in draft mode
Safe, silent, and easy to delete
You left me breaking over what we wrote
A story you’ll never finish with me
Outro
Some hearts stay in the “Sent” folder
Waiting for a reply that never comes

Verse 1
Streetlights bleed through broken blinds
Tracing shapes I’m trying to unlearn
I thought I left you at the county line
But the dark just waits its turn
Chorus
3AM calls me by my name
Lays your ghost across my bed
Every night it’s just the same
Losing you again inside my head
Verse 2
Screen lights up, I hold my breath
Thumb still hovering on “hey”
I remember the weight, the silence you left
And everything you couldn’t say
Bridge
Coffee and daylight keep me steady
I wear the “moving on” pretty well
But midnight hits and I’m never ready
To walk back into this empty shell
Outro
Morning comes, the spell wears thin
But I still feel where you’ve been

Verse 1
You left your glass on my bedside
Said you needed space, but meant something else inside
Now your name still lights up blue in my head
Like a message I’ll never send
Chorus
Call me if you’re lonely again
When your new love don’t feel like a friend
I won’t answer, I won’t pretend
But I’ll still be there in your head
Verse 2
I heard your voice through someone else’s phone
Same laugh, but it didn’t feel like home
Funny how you hate being alone
But couldn’t love what you were shown
Chorus
Call me if you’re lonely again
When your nights don’t know where to end
I won’t answer, I won’t pretend
But I’ll still be there in your head
Bridge
You had forever in your hands
You dropped it like it meant nothing
Now you’re reaching back again
But I’m not who I was then
Final Chorus
Call me if you’re lonely again
When you break what you couldn’t mend
I won’t answer, I won’t pretend
But I’ll still be there in your head
Outro
Some ghosts don’t leave… they just stay quiet
