Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] The clock strikes twelve, the room's so still, You're lost in thoughts I can't refill. Your eyes light up when you say his name, And I sit here drowning in the shame. [Verse 2] I built a fire, but it don't burn bright, Your heart's a shadow in the dead of night. Every story you tell, he's the star, While I'm just left here wondering who we are. [Chorus] Wish you'd speak of me the way you do him, With a spark in your voice, like the light ain't dim. But I'm just a ghost in this house we made, Tired of hearing his name every single day. [Verse 3] The porch swing creaks, it knows the truth, Every word you say cuts through my youth. I gave you my all, but it's never enough, You keep chasing a dream made of someone else's love. [Bridge] I can't compete with a memory's glow, But I'm still here, don't you know? If you’d just look, you might see, The man who’s still fighting to make you believe. [Chorus] Wish you'd speak of me the way you do him, With a spark in your voice, like the light ain't dim. But I'm just a ghost in this house we made, Tired of hearing his name every single day.
