[Intro]
mm
don’t wait up tonight
I’m gone quiet again
[Verse 1]
you notice way too fast
one switch in my tone
one late reply
and somehow you already know
ask me if I’m good
I say “yeah, just tired”
but we both know
that’s never the entire truth
you tell me not to disappear
while I’m already halfway gone
head too loud again
heart dragging everything wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I shut people out
before they get the chance to leave
[Chorus]
ghost mode
that’s what I do best
go cold, go quiet
when my mind gets stressed
ghost mode
pull away first
before attachment turns into hurt
oh-oh
you say “talk to me” softly
yeah-yeah
while I’m shutting down completely
ghost mode
but you still stay online
[Verse 2]
you got your own life
I got mine too
still somehow
I look for your name when I’m scrolling through
and maybe that’s bad
maybe I hate that it’s true
how calm feels dangerous
when it starts depending on you
I tell myself back off
don’t get emotionally deep
then end up talking for hours
like my brain finally sleeps
[Pre-Chorus]
you make silence feel less heavy
that’s probably the problem
[Chorus]
ghost mode
I disappear again
trying not to let someone
get too far under my skin
ghost mode
head full of static tonight
you keep pulling me back gently
like you know I’m not alright
oh-oh
I’m hard work honestly
yeah-yeah
but you don’t act like it bothers you
ghost mode
still you wait for me
[Bridge]
I know I get distant
I know I overthink
I know one mood shift
can mess with me for a week
but you read me too easy
like you live somewhere in my thoughts
and maybe that scares me more
than anything else does
[Chorus]
ghost mode
yeah I fade sometimes
when life gets too loud
and my head’s not right
ghost mode
but you still reach through
like you understand the version of me
I keep trying to hide from you
oh-oh
don’t know what this is now
yeah-yeah
just know you calm me down
ghost mode
and somehow you stay anyway
[Outro]
mm
don’t wait up tonight
…actually maybe do
