Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Met you causing mayhem in village square Laughin’ past the curfew, ditching prayers We were something, almost more ’Til she walked in through that door Years went by, we played the game Kept it quiet, stayed the same Then one night, armor off, no place to hide You said, “I wanted you this whole damn time” Pre-Chorus And I let you in, let the past ignite For a moment, you were mine that night Then the morning bells pulled you away But somehow, we always found our way Chorus Every year, same old place Same old drinks, same old fate Pulled me in, set me free Like I was just a memory Was it love? Was it real? Or just a habit you could steal? Now I’m haunted by the “almost” But I was just your midnight ghost Verse 2 Twelve months pass, I reach for you Same old place, same déjà vu But your words start losing weight Felt you slipping, but I still stayed Late-night hour, dirty and sweet Said I was the one you couldn’t wait to meet I gave you trust, gave you proof Then you vanished with the morning truth Pre-Chorus And I let you in, let the past ignite For a moment, you were mine that night Then the morning bells pulled you away But somehow, we always found our way Chorus Every year, same old place Same old drinks, same old fate Pulled me in, set me free Like I was just a memory Was it love? Was it real? Or just a habit you could steal? Now I’m haunted by the “almost” But I was just your midnight ghost Bridge Now she’s got the ring, she’s got your name I was just a whisper in your little game You played the long con, and you pulled all of the strings Made me believe I was your favorite thing Every year, I showed up blind Every year, you fed me lines Now I see it, crystal clear You were never really here Chorus Every year, same old place Same old drinks, same old fate Pulled me in, set me free Like I was just a memory Was it love? Was it real? Or just a habit you could steal? Now I’m haunted by the “almost” But I was just your midnight ghost Outro I’m just a habit you outgrew Guess I never meant that much to you Now I’m nothing but a ghost But now I know you were the host Of every bomb that blew up in my life And I hope that I can be alright I wish I hadn’t gotten to close, to “almost” ’Cause I was just your midnight ghost
