Mm, mm-mm

Verse 1

I would ask you how you've been, it's

all over the internet

But,

hey, I mean, we knew that after all

If you're

looking for an autopsy or a

half-assed half-apology

Then I

think you picked the wrong time to make this call

It is not irrelevant that you

stopped taking your medicine

But I'm

giving you the benefit 'cause it's raining out

I'll

tell you how the weather is

And you'll

slip into some eloquently

Ramblin' mixed-messaging, I should shut you down

Refrain

But it's

cold, and it's cold, and it's cold, and it's cold, and it's c

old

And I don't k

now, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm al

one

Verse 2

I hope you

tell me that you'rе winding down

That you

lost the taste to face thе crowd

That what

ever made you famous made you sick

That you can

only do what pain allows

It ain't

up to you to make it out

And there

ain't no shame in callin' this thing quits

Refrain

But you

don't, and you don't, and you don't, and you don't, and you d

on't

You're a

ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, and you're&

any faith at

all

And I'l

, be in pain for you

I'll

leave the porch light

Heartbrok

en, each morning when it's

me that turns it

off

[Post-Chorus]

So it go

es, so it goes, so it goes

Verse 3

You

act like we just sit up here and

wait for you to reappear

But,

baby, there are bills to pay and your dad's road needs salt

And I

try to drown out all the talk, the

eyeballs in the parking lots

Tell peop

le it ain't me you want, but I guess you're my fault

Refrain

You're a

ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost

And I
