Intro:
(Soft piano melody with a subtle, melancholic tone)

In the silence of the night,
I hear my heart, it cries.

Verse 1:
I walk these empty streets alone,
Familiar faces, yet unknown.
I reach for hands that never touch,
A hollow space, it's all too much.

Pre-Chorus:
The world around me, drifting far,
I'm just a shadow, a broken scar.
In crowded rooms, I’m out of sight,
Lost in the echoes of the night.

Chorus:
I’m just a ghost in a crowded place,
A fleeting glance, a vacant face.
Every word feels like a knife,
I’m fading out of life.
In this lonely masquerade,
I’m the one that’s been betrayed.
Whispered dreams, they slip away,
I’m just a ghost who’s lost today.

Verse 2:
I hear the laughter, feel the chill,
A lonely heart that’s never still.
The mirror shows a fractured soul,
A distant dream, a gaping hole.

Pre-Chorus:
The world around me, drifting far,
I’m just a shadow, a broken scar.
In crowded rooms, I’m out of sight,
Lost in the echoes of the night.

Chorus:
I’m just a ghost in a crowded place,
A fleeting glance, a vacant face.
Every word feels like a knife,
I’m fading out of life.
In this lonely masquerade,
I’m the one that’s been betrayed.
Whispered dreams, they slip away,
I’m just a ghost who’s lost today.

Bridge:
In the dark, I search for light,
But it’s a blur, it’s out of sight.
I scream inside, no one can hear,
A silent cry, a hidden tear.
And though I reach for something true,
I find that all I grasp is you.

Interlude:
(Solemn guitar solo with soft strings, conveying a sense of longing and despair)

Chorus:
I’m just a ghost in a crowded place,
A fleeting glance, a vacant face.
Every word feels like a knife,
I’m fading out of life.
In this lonely masquerade,
I’m the one that’s been betrayed.
Whispered dreams, they slip away,
I’m just a ghost who’s lost today.

Outro:
(Soft piano melody returns, echoing the intro)
In the silence of the night,
I hear my heart, it cries.
Lost in shadows, I’ll remain,
A ghost with memories of pain.
