Verse 1) I see your jacket hanging by the door Still smells like nights we don’t have anymore Every laugh around me feels rehearsed Like I’m playing happy just to make it hurt I trace the cracks along the ceiling line Convince myself I’m doing just fine But every smile feels out of tune Like I’m dancing in another room ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) I try to live inside the now But the past keeps bleeding through somehow ⸻ (Chorus) ’Cause every time I touch someone new I’m searching for a shape that feels like you In borrowed arms, I lose my place I see your shadow in their face They hold me close, but it’s not enough I’m chasing ghosts instead of love I swear I try, but I still do— I lose myself in thoughts of you ⸻ (Verse 2) They say your name without a sound But it echoes when no one’s around I laugh at jokes I don’t believe Just to feel like I can breathe They ask me why I seem so far I say I’m tired—it’s not a lie But I don’t say what keeps me up How missing you is never enough ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) I tell myself I’ll let you go But my heart moves way too slow ⸻ (Chorus) ’Cause every time I touch someone new I’m searching for a shape that feels like you In borrowed arms, I lose my place I see your shadow in their face They hold me close, but it’s not enough I’m chasing ghosts instead of love I swear I try, but I still do— I lose myself in thoughts of you ⸻ (Bridge – stripped, emotional) Maybe I’m afraid of being whole If letting go means losing what we were If love is more than memory Why does yours still hurt the worst? ⸻ (Final Chorus – softer, layered) And every time I think I’ve moved on You show up where you don’t belong In every kiss, in every touch I feel your absence just as much They give me everything I need But it’s your voice that haunts my sleep I try to stay, I really do— But I still fall apart for you ⸻ (Outro) I don’t want a glimpse of you— I want to forget you too.

Lyrics
I see your jacket hanging by the door
Still smells like nights we don’t have anymore
Every laugh around me feels rehearsed
Like I’m playing happy just to make it hurt
I trace the cracks along the ceiling line
Convince myself I’m doing just fine
But every smile feels out of tune
Like I’m dancing in another room
I try to live inside the now
But the past keeps bleeding through somehow
’Cause every time I touch someone new
I’m searching for a shape that feels like you
In borrowed arms, I lose my place
I see your shadow in their face
They hold me close, but it’s not enough
I’m chasing ghosts instead of love
I swear I try, but I still do—
I lose myself in thoughts of you
They say your name without a sound
But it echoes when no one’s around
I laugh at jokes I don’t believe
Just to feel like I can breathe
They ask me why I seem so far
I say I’m tired—it’s not a lie
But I don’t say what keeps me up
How missing you is never enough
I tell myself I’ll let you go
But my heart moves way too slow
’Cause every time I touch someone new
I’m searching for a shape that feels like you
In borrowed arms, I lose my place
I see your shadow in their face
They hold me close, but it’s not enough
I’m chasing ghosts instead of love
I swear I try, but I still do—
I lose myself in thoughts of you
Maybe I’m afraid of being whole
If letting go means losing what we were
If love is more than memory
Why does yours still hurt the worst?
And every time I think I’ve moved on
You show up where you don’t belong
In every kiss, in every touch
I feel your absence just as much
They give me everything I need
But it’s your voice that haunts my sleep
I try to stay, I really do—
But I still fall apart for youI don’t want a glimpse of you—
I want to forget you too.
