Ghost

(Album: The Early Hurts - 2019)

Baby how you doing? Are you driving?
Can you pull over? I can hear the sirens
There is something that I need to tell you
I'm sorry but I'm leaving you
The airport pick-up's 20 miles in
Pull over, hard shoulder, blindsided
I'm telling you I didn't catch the flight last night
Yeah you heard right

I'm throwing all the love you gave
'Cause you just wanted someone safe
But look at me I'm so unstable yeah
I'm not the kind of man you crave
I'm digging you an early grave
I think it's time you run away

I should have warned you but we got too close
There's nothing to see I'm just another ghost
You would have never let me in if you'd known (If you'd known)
I should have warned you but we got too close
There's nothing to see I'm just another ghost
Forever destroying what I love the most
And now I'm letting you go

We got into something that I couldn't see through
Married in a year, kids in two
But I was never ready for that kind of love
Babe I'm not the one
And now I'm running back to my old ways
I just bombed whatever my friend gave me
Another 20 minutes till it kicks in
You know I'm sorry but

I'm throwing all the love you gave
'Cause you just wanted someone safe
But look at me I'm so unstable yeah
I'm not the kind of man you crave
I'm digging you an early grave
I think it's time you run away

I should have warned you but we got too close
There's nothing to see I'm just another ghost
You would have never let me in if you'd known (If you'd known)
I should have warned you but we got too close
There's nothing to see I'm just another ghost
Forever destroying what I love the most
And now I'm letting you go

And now I'm letting you go
And now I'm letting you go
And now I'm letting you go (Now I'm letting you go)
And now I'm letting you go (Now I'm letting you go)

The sins of a coward you should notice
It don't matter now I'm being honest
How can I love when I don't love myself?
You were ignoring all of the warnings
You gave it all and I gave nothing
How can I love when I don't love myself?

I should have warned you but we got too close
There's nothing to see I'm just another ghost
You would have never let me in if you'd known (If you'd known)
I should have warned you but we got too close
There's nothing to see I'm just another ghost
Forever destroying what I love the most
And now I'm letting you go
