Ghosts In My Group Chat

[Verse 1]
We used to laugh at two a.m
Screens glowing like summer
Inside jokes in every line
I still scroll through the clutter
You got your job in another town
New keys
New coffee shop counter
I saw the pics
You all looked proud
I hit the heart
Then let it linger longer
[Chorus]
You're a ghost in my group chat now
Names on a screen I barely tap now
I had friends that I adored
And I still hope you get everything you prayed for
Yeah
We loved like it would never end
Guess this is where our stories bend
You’re living your life
And I’ll live mine
Time to move on
Time to move on (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Birthday texts feel kinda stiff
Typed and erased the real shit
“How’ve you been?” then three blue dots
You answer but we both feel the distance
I keep saving you a plastic chair
In corners of my memory
But it’s empty at the actual table
And that’s finally starting to hit me
[Chorus]
You're a ghost in my group chat now
Names on a screen I barely tap now
I had friends that I adored
And I still hope you get everything you prayed for
Yeah
We loved like it would never end
Guess this is where our stories bend
You’re living your life
And I’ll live mine
Time to move on
Time to move on (oh-oh)
[Bridge]
I won’t drag you through my longing
Won’t pretend that nothing changed
You’re a chapter I keep folded
Soft and safe
But rearranged
I can miss you
Still forgive it
I can bless you
Still feel torn
I can love who that made me
And still walk through a new door (hey)
[Chorus]
You're a ghost in my group chat now
Names on a screen I barely tap now
I had friends that I adored
And I still hope you get everything you prayed for
Yeah
We loved like it would never end
Guess this is where our stories bend
You’re living your life
And I’ll live mine
Time to move on
Time to move on
Time to move on (oh-oh)

pop, Glossy emo-pop, female vocals; palm-muted guitars and soft synth pads in the verses, then a wide, shimmering chorus with stacked harmonies and tight drums. Start intimate and close-mic’d, opening into an anthemic, bittersweet hook. Subtle bass swells under a bridge that drops to vocal and pad before the final chorus hits with extra ad-lib layers., emo
