Ghost Story Lyrics

Maybe I'm just a ghost
Disappear when anybody's close
Go through you when you try to hold
Try to hold me near

Maybe I'm just a ghost
Emptier than anybody knows
Maybe I'm on the ropes
Or I'm not even here

Yeah!

Every time I try to walk through walls
More walls appear
What's the point of feeling love for you
When you don't believe I'm here?
What's the point of trying to raise your voice
If no one ever hears?
Every time I try to pull you close
You disappear

Maybe I'm a ghost
Just a whisper in a puff of smoke
A secret that nobody knows
No one will ever hear

Oh, maybe I'm a ghost
Specter on a roller coast(er)
Thorn without a rose
Something people fear

Yeah!

And every time I thought I'd walked through walls
It's all becoming clear
What's the point of feeling love for you
When you don't believe I'm here?
What's the point saying "Rescue me!"
If no one ever hears?
Every time I try to pull you close
You disappear
Every time I try to pull you close
You disappear

And every time I thought I'd walked through walls
It's all becoming clear
Every time I try to pull you close
You disappear

Every time I try to pull you close
You disappear

Cover art for Ghost Story lyrics by Coldplay

this song to me is most definitely about unrequited love. The singer is singing to someone who he really loves, but she does not feel the same way. It could almost be thought that she doesn't even know he exists.
