Lyrics
Whiskey stains on letters never sent...
Whiskey stains on letters never sent
Your ghost still walks these empty rooms
I trace the outline where you used to lay
Dust particles dance in afternoon gloom
The silence screams your name at me
While I'm drowning in what used to be
These shadows on the wall keep moving
Like memories I can't erase
Every corner holds your echo
Every mirror shows your face
I'm haunting my own home now
Since you slipped right through my hands
These shadows on the wall keep proving
Love don't always have a plan
Coffee gets cold while I'm lost in thought
Your sweater's still draped on the chair
I breathe you in but you're not there
Just phantom touches in the air
The clock keeps ticking but time stands still
In this house upon the hill
These shadows on the wall keep moving
Like memories I can't erase
Every corner holds your echo
Every mirror shows your face
I'm haunting my own home now
Since you slipped right through my hands
These shadows on the wall keep proving
Love don't always have a plan
I could burn it all down
Start again somehow
But your ashes would remain
Dancing in the flame
These shadows on the wall keep moving
Like memories I'll never face
Every corner holds your echo
Every mirror shows my pain
I'm haunting my own home now
Since I let you slip away
These shadows on the wall keep proving
Some ghosts are here to stay
Whiskey stains and empty rooms
Your ghost still walks...
Still walks with me
