Ghost Lyrics
You sent a text
It's like the wind changed your mind
We were best friends
Yeah, we were building a life
With every kiss, and every letter
Every promise of forever, oh
But you hit send
And disappeared in front of my eyes
And now you're just a ghost
When I look back never would have known that
You could be so cold
Like a stranger vanish like a vapor
There's just an echo where your heart used to be
Now I see it clearly
And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep
My vision's 20/20
I see through you now
Something has died
Now that I have made up my mind
I'll be alright
It doesn't haunt me at night
'Cause every gift and every letter, every promise of forever
Now, is out of sight
Like you were never alive
And now you're just a ghost
When I look back never would have known that
You could be so cold
Like a stranger vanish like a vapor
There's just an echo where your heart used to be
Now I see it clearly
And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep
My vision's 20/20
I see through you now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
So rest in peace
I'll see you on the other side
And now you're just a ghost
When I look back never would have known that
You could be so cold
Like a stranger vanish like a vapor
There's just an echo where your heart used to be
Now I see it clearly
And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep
My vision's 20/20
I see through you now, now, now, now, now
Oh, now, now, now, now, now
I see through you now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
I see through you now
It's like the wind changed your mind
We were best friends
Yeah, we were building a life
With every kiss, and every letter
Every promise of forever, oh
But you hit send
And disappeared in front of my eyes
When I look back never would have known that
You could be so cold
Like a stranger vanish like a vapor
There's just an echo where your heart used to be
Now I see it clearly
And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep
My vision's 20/20
I see through you now
Now that I have made up my mind
I'll be alright
It doesn't haunt me at night
Now, is out of sight
Like you were never alive
When I look back never would have known that
You could be so cold
Like a stranger vanish like a vapor
There's just an echo where your heart used to be
Now I see it clearly
And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep
My vision's 20/20
I see through you now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
I'll see you on the other side
When I look back never would have known that
You could be so cold
Like a stranger vanish like a vapor
There's just an echo where your heart used to be
Now I see it clearly
And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep
My vision's 20/20
I see through you now, now, now, now, now
Oh, now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
I see through you now

The first lyric is supposed to be "you sent a text".
This is my favorite song on Prism. It's about Russel breaking up with her/asking for a divorce through a text message. More elaborately how she feels like he's just this long distant memory, this non-existent former presence in her life. A "ghost". It's a beautiful song.
It's a nice way of saying that Russel Brand is dead to her hence the term 'ghost'. She's also saying RIP so it's pretty obvious what she did there.
Oh, just another heart-broken song of her breakup. Well, she does have the right to write as many of these as she wants to, right? Saying her divorce "wasn't very nice on his part" is an understatement.
