"ghost" august 1st, 2023
verse 1
i saw the girl on your story last night.
if i'm being honest, she looked alright,
but she wasn't me.
i find myself looking through our old texts.
you were always talking about what happens next,
but it wasn't me.
she wasn't me.
chorus
and i can't remember why i'm here.
it's the same thing i did last year.
sometimes i think that it's better if i go,
but i'd rather be your secret than a ghost.
verse 2
so i burn up all the letters that i never sent,
then i instantly regret it the next moment,
know it isn't right.
but you're still gone, who's this person in your place?
gone far too long, there's no more time for grace.
no, it isn't right.
i know it isn't right.
chorus
and i can't remember why i'm here.
it's the same thing i did last year.
sometimes i think that it's better if i go,
but i'd rather be a secret than a ghost.
bridge
so take the memories,
take the feelings.
keep it, keep it with you.
i'll delete the messages
pretend we're friends again.
keep it, keep it from you.
your reasoning's beyond me now.
still don't care what you found.
keep it, keep it with you.
no more journal entries,
give them back to the trees.
keep it, keep it from you.
pre-chorus
keep it with you.
keep it from you.
chorus
and i can't remember why i'm here.
it's the same thing i did last year.
sometimes i think that it's better if i go,
but i'd rather be a secret,
no, i'd rather be a secret
and i can't remember why i'm here.
it's the same thing i did last year.
sometimes i think that it's better if i go,
but i'd rather be a secret than a ghost.
outro
keep it with you.
keep it from you.
