12. Kissing Ghosts

[Verse 1] Your hand on my skin feels colder tonight Like you’re half a world away in the fading light I trace the outline, but I can’t find the flame Just the memory calling your name [Pre-Chorus] Every kiss is a haunting, every touch is a lie But I keep holding on, though I don’t know why [Chorus] I’m kissing ghosts where your lips should be Loving the scars of a memory You’re here beside me, but I still bleed I’m kissing ghosts where your lips should be [Verse 2] We sleep in the same bed, oceans apart Your breath is a stranger pressed to my heart The silence is louder than anything said Still I reach for you through the dead [Pre-Chorus] Every word is a shadow, every glance is a war But I can’t stop needing what I needed before [Chorus] I’m kissing ghosts where your lips should be Loving the scars of a memory You’re here beside me, but I still bleed I’m kissing ghosts where your lips should be [Bridge] I don’t know if it’s love or just fear of the end But I’d rather haunt you than start again [Final Chorus] I’m kissing ghosts where your lips should be Holding the bones of a memory You’re here beside me, but I still bleed I’m kissing ghosts where your lips should be [end]
