This Place That Hides Your Ghost Lyrics

This place

It hides your ghost

And I'm too afraid

To let myself find you

Is this some kind of sick game?

I'll let you fade

Slip through my fingers

Nothing left of me

Just an empty bed and a heartbreak

Nowhere left to escape

As I pack up to leave the cracked streets

Paved and near complete

The seeds I leave behind will someday

Dissipate or leave

Either way I won't forget

The foundations laid in my head

How I grew past the regrets

And the midnights in cold sweats

And I don't know where you've run off to

But you're not running through my head anymore

You told me once you'd never leave

The only thing you said that I believe

You may be gone but I know that you're still here

This place

It hides your ghost

And I'm too afraid

To let myself find you

Is this some kind of sick game?

I'll let you fade

Slip through my fingers

Nothing left of me

Just an empty bed and a heartbreak

Nowhere left to escape

When I saw the Chicago skyline

The sun had slowly lessened

I knew that the chronic pains

Of yesterday

Would slip away with the present

And I knew that you were here to stay

A flesh wound band-aid until you were inevitably ripped away

Leaving me bloodied and broken but somehow stronger and brave

I just can't push the tide away

The time has flown and past to yesterday

I just know my youth is stained in all your tears

This place

It hides your ghost

And I'm too afraid

To let myself find you

Is this some kind of sick game?

I'll let you fade

Slip through my fingers

Nothing left of me

Just an empty bed and a heartbreak

Nowhere left to escape

When I saw O'Hare fade behind me

I knew one page had turned for good

Leading to another chapter

The closing of my childhood

This place

That hides your ghost

It's a part of me

A graveyard of my memories

I'll never truly escape

This place
