NYZA ORIGINALS
Phantom
He's still texting the group chat like nothing happened, making jokes with her friends, but she sees through it—the way his eyes stay fixed on his phone when she enters the room, the ghost of him everywhere but nowhere at all. She's become the person he pretends not to see, a phantom in a life she used to own.
Lyrics
Verse 1
You walk past me like I'm made of air
Still in the group chat, but you don't care
I'm a ghost in your phone, a name you scroll past
You killed what we were, now you're moving fast
See you laughing with her friends, that was my seat
Now I'm watching from the outside, incomplete
You act like I'm nothing, like I never was real
But you check if I'm online—bet you know how I feel
Chorus
I'm a phantom, phantom
Haunt you in the silence, phantom
You erased me but I'm still here
Ghost in your world, crystal clear
Phantom, phantom
You can't see me but you feel the chill
I'm a phantom and I always will
Verse 2
Your new girl don't know the things that I know
All the broken promises, the way love can go
You rewrote the story, made me the villain
But every scar you left behind is still filling
My mind at 3am when you're sleeping sound
I'm the silence between you and what you found
You moved on quick but your guilt moves slow
I'm the phantom you can't let go
Bridge
Don't call my name like you miss what we had
Don't look back when you think that I'm sad
You made your choice, now live with the cost
I'm the one thing you can't get lost
Outro
Phantom, phantom
Yeah, I'm still here
Phantom
