[Verse 1]
You say my name
I hear an echo in the drywall
Every word
Crawls along the ceiling
Starts to fall
I flinch at kindness
Like it’s coming with a price tag
Better to vanish
Than watch another bright thing fade
[Chorus]
I’m a ghost in my head
Yeah
Haunting every empty room
I’m so scared you’ll break me open
Just as scared you’ll leave me soon
If I let you through the door
Will you stay or will you run?
I don’t wanna die inside my mind
But I’m terrified of anyone (anyone)
[Verse 2]
You reach for me
My whole body turns to barbed wire
Can’t breathe in
Heart stuck in a burning tire
I crave your shoulder
Then I push you to the sidewalk
I hate the silence
But I’m petrified of small talk
[Chorus]
I’m a ghost in my head
Yeah
Haunting every empty room
I’m so scared you’ll break me open
Just as scared you’ll leave me soon
If I let you through the door
Will you stay or will you run?
I don’t wanna die inside my mind
But I’m terrified of anyone (of anyone)
[Bridge]
What if you see the wreckage?
What if you don’t see at all?
What if I hand you my secrets
And you turn them into walls?
I’m tired of my reflection
In these crooked bathroom tiles
But every time you get closer
I choke on my own denial (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m a ghost in my head
Yeah
Haunting every empty room
I’m so scared you’ll break me open
Just as scared you’ll leave me soon
If I let you through the door
Will you stay or will you run?
I don’t wanna die inside my mind
But I’m terrified of anyone
I don’t wanna die inside my mind
But I’m terrified of anyone (anyone)
