Ghost

I should've let you die from that heart attack Back in two thousand and five I wish that I didn't react Embracing unknown contents of the coming days Call it a faithful leap or playing it safe I'm still tending to the bruises that you left on my soul And the mental tax you charged I'm still in debt to that toll In a dozen years the dust collects on untouched stepping stones Will I ever shake it all You were a ghost Haunting my home You were a ghost Haunting my home You were a ghost Then in two thousand sixteen I received your written word With a postmark from where you had been, a place I've never heard And in negative degrees I recited your deceit Spelled out for me I was a ghost Haunting my home I was a ghost Haunting my home I was a ghost Maybe better off alone Mom and Meg and me, we're all getting along You've been replaced by a better man who fills a space You could never hold Now you're a ghost Haunting my home Now you're a ghost Haunting my home Now you're a ghost Haunting my home Now you're a ghost You are a ghost You're haunting my home You are a ghost You're haunting my home You are a ghost You're haunting my home
