Midnight Ghost

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
