I cant look at your pictures
It's just too hard
I feel embarrassed and ashamed
That I never went to see you
I know, the hospital always scared you
And you deserved so much more

I know you always loved me
Like a father, like a son
And you showed me more, than I would ever know
So I, I keep you here

What makes you think that you can leave without me?
I'm still right here
I shouted out your name
I know that you can hear

I thought we lived forever
But when you died, that piece of me died too
I was selfish, that i know
But I don't want to be anymore
So I, I keep you here

What makes you think that you can live without me?
I'm still right here
I shouted out your name
I know that you can hear

This song paints a haunting portrait of emotional absence and longing. The narrator reflects on a vanished love, using imagery of empty landscapes, fading echoes, and symbolic objects like a bridle and saddle to evoke the weight of memory. The verses unfold like a solitary ride through grief, while the chorus captures the ache of chasing something irretrievable. It’s a quiet meditation on what remains when love disappears—and how its ghost lingers in the rituals and silence we carry.

📝 Lyrics: Ghost in the Bridle

[Intro – Instrumental I]  
[Muted piano, ambient guitar swells, brushed drums]

---

[Verse 1]  
She left in the rain, no goodbye, no sound  
I held the reins, just circling around  
The barn was quiet, the sky turned grey  
I still talk to her every day  

---

[Instrumental II]  
[Low trumpet, layered guitar loops, heartbeat kick]

---

[Verse 2]  
I built her a room in the back of my head  
Where the walls are soft and the lights are red  
She moves like smoke, she sleeps like snow  
I never asked her why she had to go  

---

[Chorus]  
You were the mare I could never hold  
A name I forgot, a story retold  
I ride through the dark, I ride through the cold  
Looking for something that never gets old  

---

[Instrumental III]  
[Driving bass, tremolo guitar, ambient textures]

---

[Verse 3]  
The fields are burned, the flowers are gone  
I hum her tune, I get the notes wrong  
The bridle hangs like a prayer on the door  
I wait for her steps, but they don’t come anymore  

---

[Interlude – Instrumental IV]  
[Minimal piano, ambient noise, distant vocal hums]

---

[Verse 4]  
The stars are off, the moon’s too low  
I sleep in the saddle, I don’t want to know  
She’s stitched in my coat, she’s sewn in my skin  
I ride through the night just to not let her in  

---

[Chorus – Repeat]  
You were the mare I could never hold  
A name I forgot, a story retold  
I ride through the dark, I ride through the cold  
Looking for something that never gets old  

---

[Instrumental V]  
[Final crescendo: layered guitars, strings, fading heartbeat drums]

---

[Bridge]  
I saw her once in the smoke of a fire  
Her eyes like embers, her breath like a choir  
But I blinked and she vanished, like all things that burn  
Now I follow the trail of the things I unlearn  

---

[Reprise]  
You were the mare I could never reclaim  
A myth in the mirror, a song with no name  
I whisper your story to rivers and stone  
But the echo just tells me I’m riding alone  

---

[Outro]  
[Solo piano, fading into silence, one final breath of brass]
