you only text me after midnight
like i’m some secret you can hide
say you miss me when you’re drinking
then act different in daylight
you tell me that you’re “just confused”
like that’s supposed to make it hurt less
while i’m sitting in my bedroom
reading old texts in the dark again
and i know i should stop answering
but your name still hits the same
everybody says you’re bad for me
but i still wait for your call anyway
Pre-Chorus
cause every time i finally move on
you come back sounding lonely
and i hate the way one message
can make me forget you don’t know me
Chorus
i hate that i still want you
after everything you do
you kiss me like you love me
then disappear for days or two
leave your hoodie in my backseat
like you’re planning to come back
but i’m always left here wondering
why loving you feels like that
and i keep letting my heart lose
just to feel close to you
guess i’m just another ghost
living in your phone
Verse 2
my friends are getting tired of hearing
the same story every week
how you swear that this time’s different
then disappear without a reason
you know exactly how to pull me in
with your “i miss you” voice
and i hate that after all this time
you still feel like my first choice
sometimes i think you love the idea
of knowing i’ll stay
cause no matter how bad you hurt me
i never walk away
Pre-Chorus
and maybe that’s the saddest part
i know exactly what this is
you only want me when you’re empty
but i still melt into your kiss
Chorus
i hate that i still want you
after everything you do
you hold me like forever
then make me feel disposable too
you say nobody gets you
and somehow i believe it
while you turn my chest to chaos
and call it “complicated”
and i keep letting my heart lose
just to feel close to you
guess i’m just another ghost
living in your phone
Bridge
3 a.m. and i’m staring at the ceiling
wondering if you’re with somebody else
while i replay every promise
that you never meant yourself
i should hate you by now
i should finally let go
but loving you feels like a habit
that my body won’t outgrow
Final Chorus
i hate that i still want you
even after all the scars
you only love me in pieces
never enough to call me yours
and one day you’ll probably miss me
when i finally disappear
but you can’t keep breaking somebody
just because they’re always here
still i keep letting my heart lose
just to feel close to you
guess i’ll always be the ghost
living in your phone
