Yours is a love that can’t be held
A misfortunate memory that you won’t tell
A passenger that never leaves
The spirit that grips my grief
The ghost in everything
The words that wrap around
The chords I strum
The silence between
The sounds I hum
If sad’s a song
You’re the muse that haunts me
And everywhere I went wrong
The ghost in everything
Every smile that we shared
Said it’d turn out alright
Now they just r.i.p. me apart
And wreck me inside
My heart wasn’t born broken
It was broken open by you, baby
And maybe that’s how it’s meant to stay
So I’ll remain in pain forever and wait for
The ghost in everything
A companion of heartbreak
A manifestation of mistakes
To you, I’ll dedicate my poetry
Every word on every page
Every story said
Inside my head
Until all I am is bones buried dead
With the ghost in everything
You’re the ghost in all my dreams
You’re the ghost in every scene
The ghost that never leaves
The ghost in everything
