Important questions about a dead relationship asked at 2am

from I Told You How Important You Would Be by Pale Bird and Lily Sloane

lyrics

Woke in my house, lights flicker in and out
Moves through just like a breeze
His footsteps without a body
God he doesn’t see me

Thought I might be alright but I’m not
I’m as alone as I used to be
What does he want from me
And this was not the first time

I cut a long story short
I cut our long story short

This old house is still a home to the children
of the spiders that we swallowed in our sleep
Now we don’t take our meals together
Every night my sleepwalk’s woken
My steps broken by the shadow in my bed
of words unsaid

I cut a long story short
I cut our long story short

You took hold of my sleep
Want to scream it’s not a dream
It’s the ghost of you
Move through me like you used to do

And if I die
And if you die
Will we both be still hanging around here
Can a ghost haunt another ghost?

They say you’ll fade in good time

We cut a long story short
We cut our long story
