Perfume & Ghosts

(Verse 1)
Your perfume still lives on all my old clothes,
I swear at night it turns to smoke and then a ghost,
I’m talking to the ceiling like it’s you again,
But the echo hits harder than it ever did back then.

(Pre-Chorus)
And I keep fighting off my demons,
They keep crawling through the cracks every season,
They say you’re never coming back—
Yeah, I know they’re probably right.

(Chorus)
’Cause our hearts don’t beat in rhythm anymore,
Mine’s bleeding out on the bedroom floor,
Your shadow walks out through the door,
And all I smell is your perfume,
And all I see is your ghost
Floating where the light used to shine.

(Verse 2)
I ripped the pictures down but they still burn,
The memories cut deep, guess I’ll never learn,
Sleep feels like a war that I can’t survive,
Every nightmare screams you were my only life.

(Pre-Chorus)
And I keep fighting off my demons,
They’re louder when I’m tired and I’m weakened,
They whisper that you never cared—
And maybe they’re right.

(Chorus)
’Cause our hearts don’t beat in rhythm anymore,
Mine’s bleeding out on the bedroom floor,
Your shadow walks out through the door,
And all I smell is your perfume,
And all I see is your ghost
Haunting everything I try to hide.

(Bridge)
Scream it out, but nothing kills the pain,
You carved your name into my veins,
I’m drowning in the things you left behind—
Perfume, ghosts, hearts, and the lies.

(Final Chorus)
Yeah, our hearts don’t beat in rhythm anymore,
Mine’s barely beating at all, I’m sure,
Your memory’s the bruise I can’t ignore,
And all I smell is your perfume,
And all I see is your ghost,
And maybe the demons were right
When they said you’d never stay.
