Verse 1

Verse 1 We found a spark in the cold and we called it a home Built a whole life out of secrets and words on a phone We learned how to laugh in the quiet between Like the dark wasn’t waiting, like love stayed clean Verse 2 Now February frost settles deep in the cracks of the floor I’m haunting the hallway where you don’t live anymore Every door knows your name, every wall holds its breath Like the house understands the shape of what’s left Chorus It’s a Valentine’s ghost It’s the high and the hollow of us Turning gold into iron And diamonds back into dust It’s the kind that don’t fade It just learns where to hide Yeah, it stays when the love’s gone And it walks by my side Verse 3 There’s a jacket still hanging like you’re coming back Still smells like the nights we were holding the line I talk to the silence like it’s on my side But it don’t answer questions, it just lets them ride Verse 4 I’ve tried burning bridges, I’ve tried letting go Tried moving the furniture, changing the road But grief’s got a way of staying polite Never raising its voice, just sleeping the night Chorus It’s a Valentine’s ghost It don’t knock, it don’t rust Turning gold into iron And diamonds back into dust It’s the echo of “almost” And “maybe someday” It’s the love that don’t leave Even after you’ve stayed Bridge They say time makes it easier, softens the blow But some things don’t heal, they just age slow You don’t bleed anymore, but the scar still aches When you loved something real, that’s the chance you take Final Chorus Yeah, it’s a Valentine’s ghost It’s the truth underneath That some hearts are worth breaking Just to know how they beat ‘Cause I’d find you again Just to lose you the same For the beautiful mess Of a heart worth the pain Outro So I pour one more drink And I sit with the cost Here’s to love, here’s to leaving And that Valentine’s ghost
