Ghost
Haunted by Memories: Yearning for Love Beyond
Lyrics
I still think of you when I smell that cologne
I still associate memories of you with a specific scent.
It's like I go into a twilight zone
Remembering you feels like entering a surreal or disorienting state.
I start to wonder if I should pick up the phone and call you
I contemplate the idea of reaching out to you by phone.
Maybe see how you're doing
Perhaps to check on your well-being.
Most days I don't even notice you are gone
Most days, I don't notice your absence.
Maybe it's because I don't really miss being your pawn
Maybe because I don't miss being under your control.
That is until I wish I had a shoulder to cry on
Except for moments when I long for emotional support.
And then I want you again
At those times, I desire your presence again.
And I know it's not about you
I acknowledge that my feelings aren't solely about you.
I miss being in love
I yearn for the feeling of being in love.
No, I know it's not about you
Reiterating that it's not entirely about you.
Yet when push comes to shove
However, when faced with difficult situations,
You're the one that I go back to
I tend to revert to thinking about you.
But I'm so tired of
But I'm fatigued from
Returning to your ghost
Returning to memories or thoughts of you.
I don't really miss you
My longing isn't for you personally,
I miss my feelings the most
But for the emotions I used to feel.
So it's honestly silly you still have space in my head
It seems irrational that thoughts of you persist
When the thoughts of you are the ones that I dread
Especially when they evoke negative feelings.
I wish I could let them all go but instead
I wish I could release these thoughts, but I can't.
I keep them, without a reason why
I retain them without understanding why.
Cause I know it's not about you
Emphasizing again that my longing isn't entirely about you.
I miss being in love (Being in love)
I yearn for the feeling of being in love.
No, I know it's not about you
Clarifying that it's not entirely about you.
Yet when push comes to shove (Push comes to shove)
However, when faced with challenges,
You're the one that I go back to
I tend to revert to thoughts of you.
But I'm so tired of
Expressing weariness of
Returning to your ghost (Returning to your ghost)
Continually revisiting memories or thoughts of you.
I don't really miss you
My longing isn't directed at you as a person,
I miss my feelings the most
But rather towards the emotions I used to experience.
I wish I could just detach them from you
I wish I could separate my emotions from thoughts of you,
But you're the only reason that I felt them at all (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
But you are the reason I felt those emotions in the first place.
So until I find myself someone new
Until I find someone new,
I'm stuck with the ghost of you
I remain tied to memories of you.
I wish you'd stop haunting me
Expressing a desire for your influence to cease,
You're not making this easy
As your presence complicates things.
I just know it's not about you
Reiterating that my longing isn't solely about you.
I miss being in love
I yearn for the feeling of being in love.
No, I know it's not about you
Clarifying that it's not entirely about you.
Yet when push comes to shove
However, when faced with challenges,
You're the one that I go back to
I tend to revert to thoughts of you.
But I'm so tired of
Expressing exhaustion from
Returning to your ghost (Returning to your ghost)
Continuously returning to memories or thoughts of you.
I don't really miss you
My longing isn't directed at you personally,
I miss my feelings the most
But towards the emotions I used to feel.
Get out of here, ghost
A direct plea for the memories of you to depart.
