Ghosts I Built

Lyrics

I met you in a moment I was breaking downYou felt like peace in all that noise I drownedI wasn't looking, I was just passing throughBut somehow I kept coming back to you

You said just enough to pull me inNever too much to let me inAnd I read between every lineLike there was something there to find

I should've seen it for what it wasBut I kept calling it love

I fell in love with ghosts I builtWith dreams that never stood up stillI gave my heart to what might beAnd lost myself in make believe

I kept holding on too longTo something that was always wrongSomewhere between truth and meI became who I can't unsee

You never promised anythingBut I heard forever in everythingEvery look, every late night callI turned it into something more

I made a home inside my headIn words you never really saidAnd every time reality hitI found a way to soften it

I knew the truth, I felt the cracksBut I kept covering them back

I fell in love with ghosts I builtWith dreams that never stood up stillI gave my heart to what might beAnd lost myself in make believe

I kept holding on too longTo something that was always wrongSomewhere between truth and meI became who I can't unsee

It's not your fault I built you upOut of silence and half enoughYou never asked me to believeIn something you could never be

I just didn't want to be aloneSo I turned maybe into homeAnd every part I couldn't proveI painted over just for you

Yeah I saw it... I just didn't stop

I fell in love with ghosts I builtAnd paid the price for every bitI gave my heart to something falseAnd blamed myself for what it cost

Now I'm standing in the truthOf everything I tried to loseSomewhere between who I wasIs someone I'm becoming because
