Look A Ghost Lyrics

you knew her from before
she hid behind the door
you never noticed that
the hallways turned to black
the stairway is a chance
to fall and break your hands
she just might push you down
so never turn around

she never had a chance
she never had a chance
so now she's coming back for you
she never had a chance
she never had a chance
so now she's coming back for you

watch out, she's fading fast
you just might lose your chance
find out by accident
the reason she is back
so now you're scared of her
cause she might not return
mistook you for someone
one look and now she's gone

she never had a chance
she never had a chance
so now she's coming back for you
she never had a chance
she never had a chance
so now she's coming back for you

look a ghost came through the door
from a thousand years before

look a ghost came through the door
from a thousand years before

look a ghost came through the door
from a thousand years before

she never had a chance
she never had a chance
so now she's coming back for you
she never had a chance
she never had a chance
so now she's coming back for you (x2)

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.

The lyrics on this album are hard for me to grasp but to me this song sounds like maybe an ex girlfriend
