Ghost We Wrote

  1. //[intro]//
  2.  
  3. Crying when you sad, dying in the head,
  4. Seeing all the red, seeing all the read,
  5. Tell me why you mad, tell me why you dread
  6. Tell me how it began, losing all this love, loving this man —
  7. Teens, broken wings, trying to fly on borrowed hope
  8. Two kids in the dark, learning life without a rope
  9. holding storms we couldn’t cope.
  10. Now we grown, looking back at the ghosts we wrote....
  11. Now you fade in and out like a ghost in my bed…
  12. You fade in and out like a ghost in my bed…

  15.  
  16. Kids in the summer, tryna outrun home,
  17. Two hearts on fire in a world so cold.
  18. You were thirteen, I was twelve, learning love with broken rules,
  19. Trading secrets in the dark, growing up too soon,
  20. Skipping class, skipping school, fifteen under the moon.
  21. You had storms in your chest, I had hope in my hands,
  22. Tried to build you a shelter out of everything I am.
  23. But the years hit hard, and the trust hit worse,
  24. We grew up too fast, now we carry that hurt.

  31. Letting you go with the love we left.
  32. We saying goodbye to the kid I was,
  33. The one who held on when it hurt too much.

  41. I was holding onto you like you held onto fear,
  42. Two ghosts in a mirror, tryna wipe it clear.
  43. But I learned that love ain’t saving who you used to be,
  44. It’s forgiving all the versions that you couldn’t keep.

  66. outro//
  67.  
  68. We burned so bright we were bound to fade,
  69. Two kids growing up in a tidal wave.
  70. Trying not to drown in the mess we made,
  71. Still haunted by memories we can’t evade,
  72. I’m just wishing you peace for the debts we paid,
  73. I ain’t holding on to the ghosts we crave,
  74. I’m learning how to breathe on the roads we paved,
  75. And letting go of the love we gave,
  76. And if you ever look back at the mess we were,
  77. I hope you find love, I hope you find worth.
  78. I’m letting go now —that’s my final step…
  79. Goodbye to you, and goodbye to the kid I kept.
