Here’s to the Ghosts I leave behind

Lyrics

Verse 1 I’ve walked through the ashes of a life torn apart, Carried the weight of a coal-black heart. Some ghosts held me close, some cut like a blade, But each one’s a shadow that my soul’s outstayed. Pre-Chorus The road taught me mercy, the pain taught me grace, Each step’s a new story writ on my face. Chorus We raise our glasses to the ones who stayed — And tip our hats to the ones we outgrew with age. There’s grace in the leavin’, mercy in the signs — Here’s to the ghosts we leave behind. Verse 2 Mom’s in the stars, Dad’s in the dust, One gave me love, one broke my trust. But I’m more than their echoes, more than their chains, I’m the man I built through the joys and the pains. Pre-Chorus The past ain’t my prison, it’s just where I’ve been, Each goodbye’s a door to begin again. Chorus We raise our glasses to the ones who stayed — And tip our hats to the ones we outgrew with age. There’s grace in the leavin’, mercy in the signs — Here’s to the ghosts we leave behind. Bridge To the boy I was, scared and alone, To the man I am, who found a home. Every ghost’s a lesson, every scar’s a line, I’m singin’ my freedom, leavin’ ghosts behind. Chorus We raise our glasses to the ones who stayed — And tip our hats to the ones we outgrew with age. There’s grace in the leavin’, mercy in the signs — Here’s to the ghosts we leave behind. Outro *(Slow picking: E|-3---3---|)* Here’s to the ghosts… I’m leavin’ behind.
