Heart Belongs To A Ghost

Verse

Rolled into Hollow Briar,

Rain on rust and worn-out tires.

Found a bookshop on the corner,

Dust and old electric wires.

Bell rang low when I walked in,

Floorboards groaned beneath my boots.

Then a lonely guitar note hit me,

Like it’d been waitin’ on the truth.

Chorus

Now my heart belongs to a ghost,

To a boy this town needed the most.

They set the fire, called it fate,

Left his name beside “don’t investigate.”

In this haunted little shop when the lights burn low,

He’s more alive than the folks I know.

I thought my love was buried, good and gone and lost—

Now my heart, God help my soul,

My heart belongs to a ghost.

Verse

Spilled black ink on yellowed paper,

Two small words: “Not accident.”

Ledger lines and dirty secrets,

All the lies they won’t repent.

I lost mine in a white room whisper,

He lost his in smoke and flame.

Two worn souls in the same old story,

Both still callin’ out a name.

Bridge

You don’t have to burn it down again,

We can fight ‘em in the light of day.

You can lay that fire inside you down—

I’ll be the one to make ’em pay.

Chorus

Now my heart belongs to a ghost,

To a boy this town needed the most.

They set the fire, called it fate,

Left his name beside “don’t investigate.”

In this haunted little shop when the lights burn low,

He’s more alive than the folks I know.

I thought my love was buried, good and gone and lost—

Now my heart, God help my soul,

My heart belongs to a ghost.

Chorus

In this little bookshop at the edge of the road,

I lost my fear and found your soul.

Thought my heart was finished, but the Good Lord knows—

It’s too late now to let you go…

My heart belongs to a ghost.
