[Verse 1]
Just had a breakthrough
I'm used to being your number two
I play the sidekick
Let you decide, know we're the perfect fit

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the flame die out and rip the band-aid off
So slow that you can feel it bu-uh-urning, bu-uh-urning
Don't want that sad goodbye, let's keep it low key
'Cause every love story's a gho-ost story, gho-ost story

[Chorus]
It's better to walk away than to run with fake friends
No use for excuses, so bad things come to an end
I'm not spurned and forgotten 'cause I only go for gold
Don't need no fake friends
Might as well shut down
Might as well shut down, duh-duh-duh-duh-down
Might as well shut down

[Verse 2]
Asked for an update
We both know that it's too little, too late
Don't wanna be a killjoy
But all your words are just like white noise

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the flame die out and rip the band-aid off
So slow that you can feel it bu-uh-urning, bu-uh-urning
Don't want that sad goodbye, let's keep it low key
'Cause every love story's a gho-ost story, gho-ost story

[Chorus]
It's better to walk away than to run with fake friends
No use for excuses, so bad things come to an end
I'm not spurned and forgotten 'cause I only go for gold
Don't need no fake friends
Might as well shut down
Might as well shut down, duh-duh-duh-duh-down
Might as well shut down
Might as well shut down, duh-duh-duh-duh-down
Might as well shut down

[Bridge]
(Bu-uh-urning, bu-uh-urning)
Don't want that sad goodbye, let's keep it low key
'Cause every love story's a gho-ost story, gho-ost story

[Chorus]
It's better to walk away than to run with fake friends
No use for excuses so bad things come to an end
I'm not spurned and forgotten 'cause I only go for gold
Don't need no fake friends
Might as well shut down
Might as well shut down, duh-duh-duh-duh-down
Might as well shut down
Might as well shut down, duh-duh-duh-duh-down
Might as well shut down
