Lyrics
Verse 1
There’s a jacket on the chair by the window
Still smells like dreams you used to wear
Old records turning slow in the silence
Like they remember you were there
Photographs fading on the hallway wall
Smiles frozen in a frame
I hear your voice in every empty room
But it never calls my name
Pre-Chorus
You were fire, you were lightning
You were bigger than this town
Now I’m standing in your shadow
Trying not to drown
Chorus
I’m living with the ghost of a legend
Finding my own road without you
Holding on to what we believed in
When the world felt shiny and new
You left your mark on forever
But forever feels so alone
I’m carrying the heart you left behind
With the ghost of a legend I’ve known
Verse 2
Everybody tells the stories
Like you’re still just down the road
But they don’t see the quiet midnight
Or the weight that I still hold
Your name still lights up conversations
Like a star that never fades
But fame don’t keep you warm at midnight
When the memory starts to break
Pre-Chorus
You were thunder, you were magic
You were wild and unafraid
Now I’m learning how to breathe here
In the space you made
Chorus
I’m living with the ghost of a legend
Finding my own road without you
Holding on to what we believed in
When the world felt shiny and new
You left your mark on forever
But forever feels so alone
I’m carrying the heart you left behind
With the ghost of a legend I’ve known
Bridge
Maybe legends never die
Maybe they just learn to fly
But down here I’m still missing
All the reasons why
If I could hear you one more time
Tell me everything’s alright
I’d stop fighting shadows
And let you be the light
Soft Chorus (Breakdown)
Just living with the ghost of a legend
Fading into the blue
Every dream you ever carried
Still carries me too
Final Chorus
I’m living with the ghost of a legend
Finding my own road without you
Holding on to what we believed in
When the world felt shiny and new
You left your mark on forever
But forever feels so alone
I’ll keep singing the songs you left behind
With the ghost of a legend I’ve known
Outro
Yeah, I’m learning to stand on my own
With the ghost of a legend I’ve known
