[Verse 1: Joey Varela]

How do I begin to start over

Everything tastes different, I haven't been sober

Ever since the day you said ‘It's not me it was you’ and then you walked out

I put on a smile for my friends, tried to show out

They knew I was hurting but they didn't see the fallout

Everything's a memory of you now

I've been trying hard to impress you

But damn I wish sometimes I never met you

I heard you moved on to the next guy

You just want to see me cry

I just want to feel alright

I've been popping pills just to feel something

I just crashed my car but I'm still stuntin'

I've been doing everything I can to try to garner your attention

But I think I fail to mention that


[Chorus: Joey Varela]

All I know is

Nights like these when I am all alone

I battle with the ghost of you living in my home

How can I defeat this

You know every weakness

I've grown so much stronger than you think

I bet you believe I'm powerless


[Verse 2: LEXXE]

We said goodbye

But I still see you in my sleep

I'm paralyzed

Call your name but I can't sleep

And don’t you know that silence is 'I love you' in disguise

When you're not even listening, you'd rather close your eyes

I'm broken, won't you notice

And if it's love then you won't show it


[Chorus: LEXXE]

Now all I know is

Nights like these when I am all alone

I battle with the ghost of you living in my home

Now how can I defeat this

You know every weakness

I've grown so much stronger than you think

I bet you believe I'm powerless

[Bridge: Joey Varela, Joey Varela & LEXXE]

I tried everything to save us

But I'm powerless

Sometimes I feel you here with me

I just know I miss your touch

I say stupid things but deep inside I know I'm still in love

I tried everything to save us but I didn't say enough

I bet you believe I'm powerless

(I've been trying hard to impress you)

I bet you believe I'm powerless

(I've been trying hard to impress you)

(I've been trying hard to impress you)


[Chorus: Joey Varela]

Now all I know is

Nights like these when I am all alone

I battle with the ghost of you living in my home

How can I defeat this

You know every weakness

I've grown so much stronger than you think

I bet you believe I'm powerless


[Outro Chorus: Joey Varela & LEXXE]

Nights like these when I am all alone

I battle with the ghost of you living in my home

How can I defeat this

You know every weakness

I've grown so much stronger than you think

I bet you believe I'm powerless
