Let's be honest

(Alright, okay)

Loving you’s illegal, melted sin
One look at those brown eyes, falling in
Dreaming of your laughter, the bluntness, and the sarcasm

Do you even notice I’m in awe?
Drop dead gorgeous, full of flaws 
Take me in your arms, paint me in your love, let me see your soul

I don’t want you to go
Romanticizing a ghost i’ve brought into my home
Into my home
Brought into my home

Call me on a dead line, make a scene
Catch all the butterflies and all the trees 
I don’t wanna leave, I don’t wanna leave 
(Show me that you need, show me that you need me)

Lay me on the sofa, take my heart
Put it on the coaster next to our art
I just wanna love, i just wanna love 

I don’t want you to go
Romanticizing a ghost I’ve brought into my home

I don’t want you to go (call me on a deadline, make a scene, catch all the butterflies and all the trees)
Romanticizing a ghost I’ve brought into my home (I don’t wanna leave, I don’t wanna leave, show me that you need, show me that you need me)

Into my home (call me on a deadline, make a scene)
Brought into my home (catch all the butterflies and all the trees, I don’t wanna leave, I don’t wanna leave)

Into my home (show me that you need, show me that you need me)
Brought into my home

deadlines.

it’s scary knowing i can’t love right
cling to voids that hide me from the daylight
a little bit of you fix a little bit of me
no need for promises, don’t need a shocking leave

there’s people like him who i wholly adore
he says such sweet things, he opens the door
he cradles my weaknesses, phobias unlearned 
but all i think is you, it’s you i deserve

he helps me and heals my heart down 
but i still stand back for your rounds
every night i fall asleep
praying you don’t haunt my dreams

and maybe if i was indifferent
i wouldn’t wear my soul down, begging 
cause i dont really know how to say that
i dont love him

and maybe if u didnt break dishes
cause i wasn’t the girl you wanted,
then i wouldn’t be damned inside my inside my head
and i could love, and i could love him

(and i could love him, and i could love him, and i could love him)

i punish myself for having a heart
envisioning the grand awaited depart
can’t wait to see what you take from me
and watch myself mourn all the memories

he helps me and heals my heart down 
but i still stand back for your rounds
every night i fall asleep
praying you don’t haunt my dreams

and maybe if i was indifferent
i wouldn’t wear my soul down, begging 
cause i dont really know how to say that
i dont love him

and maybe if u didnt break dishes
cause i wasn’t the girl you wanted
then i wouldn’t be damned inside my inside my head
and i could love, and i could him

indifferent

Lyrics.

Think i dont know how to talk about it
Lost without you
Silver linings
Think i dont know how to talk about it
Miss our times here
Miss our times here 

Dont know where i’d be 
I’m searching out here
Ghost without a trace
I’m lost without you
Dont fill in the space
I’m lost without you
Lost without you
Lost without you 

God forbid, we never talked about it
Been around here
We sit in silence
God forbid, we never talked about it
Walk without you
Walk without you

 
I don’t know who id be
If you’d fallen in love with me

if you'd fallen in love with me

don't let me forget you

Hear the full story with lyrics behind this song and watch the official video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/d9ZB0VxcA5I

Concrete Ghost is a raw, emotional piece about life on the fringes — unseen, unheard, but still standing. It’s for those who wander city streets like shadows, carrying memories heavier than their steps.

Homelessness was a big part of my life that's why I wrote this song as outlet and for the people still out there.

This track continues the story I started with Ashes in the Grey — giving voice to the ghosts we become when the world stops seeing us.

🎧 Listen. Feel. Share.
