Ghosted Again

Intro (minimal beat, phone buzz FX)

(breathy hum)

Yeah…

(ad-lib) here we go again…

Verse 1

Left me on read like it’s nothing new

Said you were busy — I wasn’t you

You disappear like I should know

Like loving you came with a code

I replay jokes I shouldn’t miss

Like maybe I said the wrong shit

I tell myself you’ll text back

Like hope ain’t stabbed me in the past

Pre-Chorus

(low harmony)

I give you space, you take it all

(high harmony)

Still surprised when I fall

Chorus

Ghosted, again

I should’ve known when

You said “I’ll call”

Ghosted… again

(stacked harmony)

Again…

(ad-lib) yeah

Verse 2

I defend you when they ask

Make excuses I can’t back

I say “they’re just overwhelmed”

But I’m lying to myself

You come back like nothing’s wrong

Say “missed you” then you gone

I let you reset the pain

Just to ghost me once again

Pre-Chorus

(low harmony)

Why do I accept the least?

(high harmony)

From someone I love completely

Chorus

Ghosted, again

Every time I let you in

Say you care, then you stall

Ghosted… again

(ad-libs)

Yeah… I’m stupid

I know

Bridge (drop out, raw)

(falsetto)

I still care, that’s the worst part

(harmony)

Even knowing who you are

(spoken ad-lib)

I hate that I miss you

You treat silence like a shield

While I’m bleeding just to feel

Final Chorus (bigger, resigned)

Ghosted, again

I don’t know why I pretend

That this time will be different

Ghosted… again

(stacked harmony)

Again… again…

(ad-lib) yeah…

Outro (fade)

(whisper)

Still hurts though…

Every time…
