Letters to My Ghost

Intro:

Yeah... STSPanda

This for everyone fighting ghosts...

Verse 1:

Dear ghost of who I was, I see you in the dark

Remember popping pills just to feel a spark?

Now I visit mama just to prove I'm still alive

Was digging my own grave but somehow I survived

Lost my girl Sarah when she found me on the floor

Said she loved me but couldn't watch me die no more

I'm writing letters to a ghost that looks like me

Asking "Without the drugs, who we supposed to be?"

Hook:

Letters to my ghost (my ghost)

Tell him what matters most (matters most)

Sorry for the pain I caused

Breaking all the laws that said I'd die

Letters to my ghost (my ghost)

From the future that he chose (he chose)

Put the bottle down, stopped trying to drown

Now I testify

Verse 2:

Seen my father cry once - in the kitchen late at night

His son the addict, man that shit didn't sit right

Stole from my sister's drawer, she was saving for school

Traded her future for my high like a fool

She graduated last week, I was there front row

Whispered "I forgive you" - hardest hit I ever know

My boy Jason didn't make it, OD'd last June

We were supposed to get clean, but he left too soon

Hook:

Letters to my ghost (my ghost)

Tell him what matters most (matters most)

Sorry for the pain I caused

Breaking all the laws that said I'd die

Letters to my ghost (my ghost)

From the future that he chose (he chose)

Put the bottle down, stopped trying to drown

Now I testify

Verse 3:

His mama calls sometimes just to hear my voice

Says it helps to know that someone had a choice

I was valedictorian, had a full ride

Threw it all away for pills and pride

But every ending is a chance to start again

Writing letters to my ghost with this pen

To every kid who thinks that drugs are cool

I'm living proof you can lose it all and still pull through

Outro:

These are letters to my ghost (dear ghost)

The one who mattered most (the most)

I forgive him for the pain he caused

Rewrote all the laws

Thank God I'm still alive

(Still alive... Phoenix season... STSPanda)
