FULL LYRICS
VELVET GHOST
VERSE 1
I still hear your footsteps
Down the hall at night
Even though the silence
Says you’re nowhere in sight
Your shadow lives softly
Inside every room
Like perfume on old jackets
Or flowers that never bloom
And I keep talking to ceilings
Like maybe you stayed
In the cracks of the apartment
Where your echoes still wait
⸻
PRE-CHORUS
You faded like smoke in a cold blue light
But somehow you linger every night
⸻
CHORUS
You’re a velvet ghost
Moving slow through my mind
Touching every memory
You forgot behind
And I still leave space
On the left side of my bed
Like loving you quietly
Didn’t end when you left
You’re a velvet ghost
Soft as disappearing smoke
And every silent room
Still speaks your name in echoes
⸻
VERSE 2
The coffee cup’s still broken
By the kitchen sink
I tried throwing it away once
But stopped before I blinked
Cause losing little pieces
Feels too close to losing you
And every small reminder
Makes the whole pain new
I sleep beside the window
Just to hear the rain
Cause it sounds like your breathing
Coming back again
⸻
BRIDGE
Maybe love never leaves completely
Maybe it stains the air
Maybe some people become part of you
Even after they disappear
And maybe moving on
Is just learning how to breathe
Inside haunted memories
⸻
FINAL CHORUS
You’re a velvet ghost
Living under my skin
Like every door I close
Still lets your memory in
And I still wake up
Reaching through empty sheets
Trying to hold somebody
Who only lives in dreams
You’re a velvet ghost
Slowly fading into blue
But every lonely night
Still comes back to you
⸻
OUTRO
Some ghosts never leave…
