Ghostly Trace

Every time I close my eyes
I see your face like a haunting ghost
It torments me and cuts like a dagger
I hate this feeling, but it happens all the time
I don't know how I'm supposed to act now

I would never give up on you, not me
But you disappear, you act so indifferent
You don't care about my feelings at all
You simply started drifting further away

Your answer is always the same thing
You say the reason is you, you change the record
That's not a good enough reason for what you did
All those calls every night
All those messages when I woke up

My days have all become so empty
All I can hear is your voice inside my head
Your beautiful, beautiful voice
When I close my eyes, I feel you kissing my lips
It's strange to say, but I'm half dead, the other half asleep

Missing your smile causes me such suffering
And that is only one part of the pain
I stay awake all night just thinking about you
I catch myself checking my phone for a sign
Why did we interrupt something so beautiful?
I have no trace of where you went

Where are you now? You drifted away
You're so far that I can no longer see
I desperately want to hear the way you used to whisper
When we were making love
I still need your late-night call
I still wait for your message when I wake up

I never thought I would hate myself this much, because of you
I feel like a fool for letting myself fall
I am broken
I don't know what to do anymore
I don't know what to say
I checked the phone, but there’s no message from you!

The ghostly trace
I check the phone
No message from you
