ghosts Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Apologize for the weekend
And pray to God that we'll be friends
A little lost when it's over
But it's all good when I'm sober
Burnt out but I'm focused
If I was gone would you notice?
Philosophize in the shower
Ash a cigarette in the flowers
[Chorus]
When all you felt has frozen underneath your scars
Just know that I've been gone for a while
When you realize you didn't need me
All the ghosts we've left behind
Just know that I'll be gone and you won't need me
I've been gone for a while
When you realize you didn't need me
All the ghosts we've left behind
Just know that I'll be gone and you won't need me
[Verse 2]
Apologize for my old ways
And pray to God that we're okay
I didn't know you were golden
'Til I tore your heart open
And I'll be home for the weekend
'Cause outside's been freezing
And everything that I wanted
Was everything that you needed
Apologize for the weekend
And pray to God that we'll be friends
A little lost when it's over
But it's all good when I'm sober
Burnt out but I'm focused
If I was gone would you notice?
Philosophize in the shower
Ash a cigarette in the flowers
[Chorus]
When all you felt has frozen underneath your scars
Just know that I've been gone for a while
When you realize you didn't need me
All the ghosts we've left behind
Just know that I'll be gone and you won't need me
I've been gone for a while
When you realize you didn't need me
All the ghosts we've left behind
Just know that I'll be gone and you won't need me
[Verse 2]
Apologize for my old ways
And pray to God that we're okay
I didn't know you were golden
'Til I tore your heart open
And I'll be home for the weekend
'Cause outside's been freezing
And everything that I wanted
Was everything that you needed
[Chorus]
When all you felt has frozen underneath your scars
Just know that I've been gone for a while
When you realize you didn't need me
All the ghosts we've left behind
Just know that I'll be gone and you won't need me
I've been gone for a while
When you realize you didn't need me
All the ghosts we've left behind
Just know that I'll be gone and you won't need me
[Outro]
And I've been wondering how I'm losing sleep
It's looking like you were fine for me
No matter where my soul is, I won't try
To fight these feelings every night
And I still got every right to breathe
I'm out here on this road
I've been on to something new
Still, for what it's worth
Fuck, if I know what I'm doing here
'Cause I've been holding out for something
And you've been left with nothing
This weight that's on my shoulder
It's why I'm acting colder (why I'm acting colder)
I'm holding out for something (holding out for something)
With my luck, it's just nothing (my luck, it's just nothing)
These feelings in your movement (feelings in your movement)
I'm wondering how you're doing
I won't sleep no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
When all you felt has frozen underneath your scars
Just know that I've been gone for a while
When you realize you didn't need me
All the ghosts we've left behind
Just know that I'll be gone and you won't need me
I've been gone for a while
When you realize you didn't need me
All the ghosts we've left behind
Just know that I'll be gone and you won't need me
[Outro]
And I've been wondering how I'm losing sleep
It's looking like you were fine for me
No matter where my soul is, I won't try
To fight these feelings every night
And I still got every right to breathe
I'm out here on this road
I've been on to something new
Still, for what it's worth
Fuck, if I know what I'm doing here
'Cause I've been holding out for something
And you've been left with nothing
This weight that's on my shoulder
It's why I'm acting colder (why I'm acting colder)
I'm holding out for something (holding out for something)
With my luck, it's just nothing (my luck, it's just nothing)
These feelings in your movement (feelings in your movement)
I'm wondering how you're doing
I won't sleep no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
