[Verse 1]
Met her one night down in Baton Rouge
She had blue jean shorts and a “don’t need you” mood
But we talked ‘til 2, sparks flying like July
Swore I saw forever in her green-gray eyes
She danced like heartbreak hadn’t hit her yet
But kissed like someone with some things to forget
Told me she’s leavin’ in the morning light
Guess I thought maybe I could change her mind
[Chorus]
Now I’m textin’ a ghost in a far-off town
She lit me up and then let me down
Felt like fate when she held my hand
Now I’m just scrollin’ through what never began
She gave me fire, then she turned to smoke
Every “hey you” now just ends in a joke
I fell for a girl I barely even know
Yeah, I fell hard for a ghost
[Verse 2]
Watched her Insta blow up like a Tennessee fire
She’s in boots and bars and boys she’ll retire
I’m still out here singin’ songs to her name
While she’s out there playin’ some other guy’s game
My boys all say, “Man, let her go”
But they don’t know what she made me feel, though
One night with her lit up my sky
And now I’m just stuck on the goodbye
[Chorus]
Yeah I’m textin’ a ghost in a far-off town
She lit me up and then let me down
Felt like fate when she held my hand
Now I’m just scrollin’ through what never began
She gave me fire, then she turned to smoke
Every “hey you” now just ends in a joke
I fell for a girl I barely even know
Yeah, I fell hard for a ghost
[Bridge]
I don’t hate her, but I hate this feelin’
Wish I meant half of what she was meanin’
One-hit wonder in my heart’s parade
She played the part, then walked off stage
[Chorus – Final]
Still textin’ a ghost in a far-off town
She lit me up just to burn me down
Felt like love when she smiled that night
Now it just hurts when I close my eyes
She gave me fire, then she turned to smoke
Left me hangin’ on every word she spoke
I fell for a girl I barely even know
Lord, I fell hard for a ghost
[Outro]
Yeah, I fell hard… for a ghost
