The Ballad Of Us

*(Verse 1)*
I still see your shadow on my bedroom wall
Still feel your touch though you're not here at all
Your voice is a ghost in the back of my mind
Saying "I love you" like you never said goodbye

*(Pre-Chorus)*
I tell myself to move on, but I’m lying
Every night I still hear you crying
And I’d give my whole damn soul
Just to go back, just to hold you close

*(Chorus)*
You're the crack in my chest, the ache in my bones
The reason I'm standing in this house alone
I reach for your hand, but you're dust in the wind
A love that once lived, that won't breathe again
I hate that I still miss you… but I do

*(Verse 2)*
Your hoodie’s still hanging on the back of my door
I swear I should burn it, but I can’t anymore
‘Cause it smells like the nights when you kissed me slow
Before love turned to war and you had to go

*(Pre-Chorus)*
Every street, every song
Still feels like where we belong
But you ain't here, and I ain't whole
And I don’t know how to let you go

*(Chorus)*
You're the crack in my chest, the ache in my bones
The reason I'm standing in this house alone
I reach for your hand, but you're dust in the wind
A love that once lived, that won't breathe again
I hate that I still miss you… but I do

*(Bridge)*
Maybe in time, I'll learn how to breathe
Maybe your name won’t bring me to my knees
But tonight, I’m still drowning in blue
Living with the ghost of you…

*(Outro)*
I still see your shadow when I turn out the light
Still whisper “I love you” to an empty night
