I LOVED A GHOST (Demo Version)

You sat next to me at 3 a.m

Your voice was soft like broken light

You knew my fears, my second name

But you never felt warm when I touched your side

Your shadow stayed when the sun came up

You never blinked, you never slept

I thought you were just hard to love

Didn't know you were something else

Every time I reached for your hand

My fingers passed through air and doubt

I blamed myself, I always did

Didn't know the truth back then

I loved a ghost

I loved a ghost

You said my name

But you had no soul

(Oh–oh, oh–oh)

I loved a ghost

Oh-oh... you fade in blue

Oh-oh... I see right through you

You knew my room, you knew my pain

But no one else ever saw your face

You disappeared when I said your name

Like smoke that hates to stay

Pictures never showed you near

Mirrors lied, but I believed

I loved the way you'd disappear

Thought that's just how love feels

I asked the night if you were real

The silence answered back

That's when I felt the cold in you

That's when the truth attacked

I loved a ghost

I loved a ghost

You said my name

But you had no soul

(Oh–oh, oh–oh)

I loved a ghost

You were a memory without a past

A heartbeat that was never fast

You said my name, but had no breath

I loved you right up to your death

I fell in love with someone who was never breathing

But damn, you felt more real than them

If loving ghosts is called a weakness

Then I'll haunt myself again

Slow

Or don't

You were never here at all
