Ghost I Keep [Oz]

Lyrics Verse 1 I swear I felt the sunlight on my skin today, For once the weight inside my chest had drifted away. But every time I start believing I'm okay, A voice from yesterday reminds me who I was. It whispers names I tried forgetting, Every bridge I couldn't save. Every room I left too early, Every reason people changed. Pre-Chorus And I know the world's not ending, But my head won't let it go. I'm still digging through the wreckage Trying to find pieces of my soul Chorus 'Cause my past keeps finding cracks inside the walls, Slipping through the light whenever darkness calls. And even when I'm smiling, I convince myself it's wrong. Maybe I missed a sign, Maybe I crossed a line, Maybe I'm just another burden dragging everybody down. I've been passed from hand to hand, Like nobody had room to keep me. And all I've ever wanted Was somebody to hold me Like I mattered. Verse 2 Every laugh feels temporary, Every promise wears thin. I'm always waiting for the moment Someone changes their mind again. I learned how to read silence Like a sentence on a page. Looking for the hidden meaning, Looking for the coming pain. Pre-Chorus And they're telling me I'm safe now, But I've heard those words before. So I keep one foot beside the exit, Just in case they shut the door. Chorus 'Cause my past keeps finding cracks inside the walls, Slipping through the light whenever darkness calls. And even when I'm smiling, I convince myself it's wrong. Maybe I missed a sign, Maybe I crossed a line, Maybe I'm just another burden dragging everybody down. I've been passed from hand to hand, Like nobody had room to keep me. And all I've ever wanted Was somebody to hold me Like I mattered. Final Chorus My past keeps living underneath my skin, Turning every victory into sin. And even when you love me, Part of me expects the end. But if you take my hand, If you still understand, Maybe I don't have to carry every ghost I've ever found. Maybe I'm worth the space, Maybe I'll find my place. Maybe for the first time I can finally believe it. I've been passed from hand to hand, But maybe I don't have to keep running. Maybe all I've ever needed Was somebody to hold me Until I remember That I matter.
