Ghost Lyrics

You leave me
You leave me again
Can't change how I feel
I cannot pretend
That I don't feel
That I'm not real

You're a ghost
A haunting dream
Hold me close
Stay with me

You lied to me
You lied to me before
I can't trust you
I cannot ignore
The things that you do
Because it was always you

You're a ghost
A haunting dream
Hold me close
Stay with me
Even if it's just make believe

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this is definitely about a relationship that keeps on going "breaks" or ended badly, second verse they mentioned that a person has left them AGAIN. "cant change how i feel" they definitely still have feelings for them. "You're a ghost A haunting dream Hold me close Stay with me" they cant see them but they keep on thinking of them, wanting to be with them again. "You lied to me You lied to me before I can't trust you I cannot ignore The things that you do Because it was always you" the you lied to me part can mean that it was promised that they'll get back together but they didn't. they cant ignore the state of the relationship and move on, they miss it to much because it was done by someone they still love. "Stay with me Even if it's just make believe" They're desperate to be with them again, even if they don't love them anymore.

Love this song and band, I feel this song is clearly bout constantly being let down by the person you love. No matter what harm they do, you love them. It's killing you but it's a death you chose. Forever haunted.
