Same eyes, same face, but she won’t wait— A shadow stitched from my own mistakes. Chorus I’m chasing my ghost, tearing through the haze, Every move I make just rewrites the maze. She’s always ahead, I can’t slow her down, Spinning out till my knees hit the ground. Outrunning myself, every single time. Verse 2 Every memory starts to blur and race, She’s wearing my smile I can’t replace. I trip on the lies I tried to survive, By the time I reach her, I’m barely alive. Chorus I’m chasing my ghost, tearing through the haze, Every move I make just rewrites the maze. She’s always ahead, I can’t slow her down, Spinning out till my knees hit the ground. Outrunning myself, every single time. Bridge If I stop, will she fade or stay? Just a mirror that won’t look away. She’s the finish line I’ll never find, Running forever inside my mind. Final Chorus I’m chasing my ghost, tearing through the haze, Every move I make just rewrites the maze. She’s always ahead, I can’t slow her down, Spinning out till my knees hit the ground. Outrunning myself—losing every time.
