PHANTOM LIMB

(Verse 1)  
This empty room still hums your favorite song,  
Sunlight cuts the dust where your laugh belonged.  
I trace the cracks in every worn-out tile,  
Searching for your shadow one more mile.  

(Chorus)  
**I can still feel you like a phantom limb—**  
A ghost in every room, under my skin.  
This house is just a cage of might-have-beens...  
*I reach for you, but all I touch is wind.*  

(Verse 2)  
Your coffee cup’s a fossil on the shelf,  
I talk to it like I talk to myself.  
That sweater in the closet still holds heat,  
Smells of rain and old dreams, bittersweet.  

(Chorus)  
**I can still feel you like a phantom limb—**  
A ghost in every room, under my skin.  
This house is just a cage of might-have-beens...  
*I reach for you, but all I touch is wind.*  

(Bridge)  
The neighbors say, *"You should turn the page..."*  
But how do I quit a ghost I still stage?  
These walls rehearse the echo of your name—  
A silent fire only you could tame.  

(Outro Chorus)  
**I can still feel you like a phantom limb...**  
*(Whispered, fading)*  
*...All I touch is wind.*
