Lyric

I remember when you left

No grand exit, no final word

Just a slow and quiet fading

Like a frequency no longer heard

You used to fill the silences

Between the notes I couldn't find

Now I play the same old changes

Reaching for what you left behind

I still feel your ghost chords in my hands

Fingers fall where you used to stand

Every empty bar

Every quiet van

I still hear what you never planned

Just ghost chords in my hands

There are rooms I don't go back to

Not because I can't, but won't

Some doors are better left unopened

Some flames are better left alone

And sometimes in the middle of a song

I hear you in a chord I didn't plan

I stop, pretend it's just an echo

But I know it's more than that

I still feel your ghost chords in my hands

Fingers fall where you used to stand

Every empty bar

Every quiet van

I still hear what you never planned

Just ghost chords in my hands

Did you find another vessel

Somewhere further down the road?

Do you still rewrite the silence

The way you used to lift the load?

Or were you never really gone at all

Just waiting in the space between

The life I chose and what I left behind

And everything I've yet to dream

I still feel your ghost chords in my hands

Reaching for the place you used to stand

Every empty bar

Every silent land

I still play what you never planned

Just ghost chords

Ghost chords in my hands

And maybe that's enough to understand
