The boy who ghosted me

Met you by the bleachers on a Friday night,

Had that small-town smile underneath the lights.

Talked till midnight, stars shinin’ overhead,

Now all I got are memories runnin’ through my head.

You said forever like it meant somethin’ true,

Guess forever was a week or two

You left me in the dust on a backroad dream,

Turned my happy ending into a broken scene.

I was fallin’ like rain from a summer sky,

While you disappeared without a goodbye.

Now your name’s just a song that the radio plays,

A hurtin’ little memory that won’t fade away.

I gave you my heart, boy, but what did I get?

A ghost in my phone and a heart full of regret.

Still got your number, but it don’t ring now,

Guess you found another road and another town.

Every text I sent just faded into blue,

I kept holdin’ on while you were cuttin’ loose.

I kept lookin’ for a reason why you’d go,

But silence is the only thing you showed.

You left me in the dust on a backroad dream,

Turned my happy ending into a broken scene.

I was fallin’ like rain from a summer sky,

While you disappeared without a goodbye.

Now your name’s just a song that the radio plays,

A hurtin’ little memory that won’t fade away.

I gave you my heart, boy, but what did I get?

A ghost in my phone and a heart full of regret.

Maybe one day you’ll hear this melody,

And remember what you meant to me.

But I’m done waitin’ by that old screen light,

I’m findin’ my way back to alright.

You left me in the dust on a backroad dream,

But I’m stronger now than I’ve ever been.

Yeah, it hurt like hell when you walked away,

But I won’t let your shadow steal my days.

Your ghost don’t haunt me like it used to do,

I’m singin’ this goodbye instead of missin’ you.
