Lyrics- Not finding life very funny right now Coming out the shadows ain’t it funny now You’re strong You wanna be a ghost Should have gave a damn when I did you so wrong But honestly this punishment has lasted so long For me You wanna be my ghost Close the door on closure (never let it in) Hear it creaking in the dark (fear is from within) Afraid of not being there (what we might have been) I know I missed my mark But is this the woman I met at the start You could say the same about my absent heart Back then You needed me the most Don’t let the demons of the past wear you down Second guessing only leads to messing around Elsewhere Something we both know The waters are my healer (it’s healed me before) Trust the plan for life (waves against the shore) But opening my heart up (what is this Cold War) Is cutting like a knife (why do I want you more and more) Getting bigger in my head than you actually are You’ve turned into a ghost A lesson in betrayal but it’s gone beyond far Why would you be my ghost It’s not easy to function (just another day) When you’re hiding in plain sight (it’ll never go away) Images are haunting (continuing to pay) When this ain’t real life Letters to myself I’ve known little peace Justify the reasons and the stress will decrease Maybe You wanna be a ghost Don’t think you realise just what I’ve been through To be able to say those three words to you My god I’ve come so far I know Not finding life very funny right now Coming out the shadows ain’t it funny now Should have gave a damn when I did you so wrong But honestly this punishment has lasted too long Is this the woman I met at the start No more excuses from that absent heart Don’t let the demons of the past wear you down Second guessing only leads to messing around Letters to myself I’ve known little peace Justify the reasons and the stress will decrease Don’t think you realise just what I’ve been through To finally say those three words You don’t know I’ve had enough of ghosts I’ll never be your ghost.
