Ghosts of Mine

[Verse 1]
I kept your coat on the back of the chair
Though you were a maybe, a room full of air
Old almost-loves with their hands on the gate
I thank you for leaving; I’m done being late

[Pre-Chorus]
You can’t walk beside me
If I keep you in chains
I can miss what we might’ve been
And still turn the page

[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye, dear ghosts of mine
You were a season, not a sign
I bless the roads we didn’t choose
I’m learning how to be my own home
Goodbye, goodbye, I’m letting go
The path is mine; I’ll take it slow

[Verse 2]
To the love I never had time to begin
I’m sorry I made you a place to live in
No debt to repay, no door left ajar
I can carry the lesson, not carry the scar

[Bridge]
My own name sounds kinder tonight
I don’t need your shadow to know I’m alive

[Final Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye, dear ghosts of mine
You were a season, not a sign
I bless the roads we didn’t choose
I’m learning how to be my own home

[Outro]
My own home
I’m walking on
