Lost Stars - Afterimage lyrics

Reaching towards the passenger seat
To hold a hand that isn't there
Your ghost still keeps me company
And every second in this town's becoming
More than I can bear
These silhouettes keep haunting me

And no matter how far I drive away
I can't escape your face
I try to put the past behind me
But these memories won't fade

Shadows of who we used to be
They're wandering these streets
This love is just an apparition
That I'm holding in my dreams each night
'Cause you're scarred into my mind
You're nothing but an afterimage tonight
Woah

Like thunder rolling through the sky
Reverberating through the night
Your voice keeps crying out to me
And I know that you're not really there
But these phantoms chase me everywhere
It seems you've got the best of me

And no matter how far I drive away
I can't escape the truth
I try to find a new horizon
But my heart's buried with you

Shadows of who we used to be
They're wandering these streets
This love is just an apparition
That I'm holding in my dreams each night
'Cause you're scarred into my mind
You're nothing but an afterimage tonight

And that man that's standing by your side
He passed away with you that night
I just can't look him in the eyes, no
'Cause I'll never be like him again
No matter how much I pretend
I just can't love like him again no oh oh oh

Shadows of who we used to be
They're wandering these streets
This love is just an apparition
That I'm holding in my dreams each night
'Cause you're scarred into my mind
You're nothing but an afterimage tonight
This love is just an afterimage tonight
We're nothing but an afterimage tonight
