[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.
