Ghost
Navigating Love's Quirks: Ghosting Confessions by Savannah Keyes
Lyrics
I apologize I know I'm coming off a little inconsiderate
I apologize, acknowledging my insensitivity
Considering you've been a pretty damn good significant other
Recognizing your significant contributions in our relationship
Dependable lover
Describing you as a dependable lover
We're good for each other
Expressing that we complement each other
It's just that I'm afraid you
Admitting fear that you may not accept all my issues
You might not be into all of my issues
Concern that you may not be comfortable with my problems
But underneath the surface
Below the surface, acknowledging nervousness in the relationship
I never met a person that gets me this nervous
Expressing intense nervousness with you
Every time we kiss and I linger too long
Feeling uneasy and hesitant after lingering kisses
Catch myself slipping when I wanna hold on
Noticing a slip when I want to hold on
So I dip
Deciding to distance myself
Straight put it on pause
Putting the relationship on hold
Cuz you know I get weird about getting involved
Uncomfortable with emotional involvement
Like woah I ain't no claustrophobe
Asserting independence, not afraid of being confined
But don't ya think we're getting too close
Questioning if we are becoming too close
We both know where that goes
Acknowledging the potential consequences of closeness
So I just ghost
Choosing to abruptly end the relationship (ghosting)
Yeah I'm irrational
Admitting to irrational behavior
Gimme the coat right off your back and I give it back
Willing to take and return favors without emotional attachment
Keep it unattached
Preferring to keep things detached
No I don't look good in that kind of commitment and the ish that comes with it
Aversion to commitment and its associated issues
But at least I admit it
Proudly acknowledging the aversion
Every time we kiss and I linger too long
Repeating the pattern of lingering kisses causing discomfort
Catch myself slipping when I wanna hold on
Slipping again when wanting to hold on
So I dip
Choosing to distance myself once more
Straight put it on pause
Putting the relationship on pause again
Cuz you know I get weird about getting involved
Uncomfortable with emotional involvement as a recurring theme
Like woah I ain't no claustrophobe
Asserting again that I'm not afraid of confinement
But don't ya think we're getting too close
Questioning the closeness once more
We both know where that goes
Recognizing the potential consequences again
So I just ghost
Repeating the choice to abruptly end the relationship (ghosting)
It's just that I'm afraid you
Reiterating fear that you may not accept my issues
You might not be into all of my issues
Restating concern that you may not be comfortable with my problems
Every time we kiss and I linger too long
Repeating the discomfort from lingering kisses
Catch myself slipping when I wanna hold on
Repeating the slip when wanting to hold on
So I dip
Repeating the decision to distance myself
Straight put it on pause
Repeating the act of putting the relationship on pause
Cuz you know I get weird about getting involved
Reiterating discomfort with emotional involvement
Like woah I ain't no claustrophobe
Repeating the assertion of not being afraid of confinement
But don't ya think we're getting too close
Repeating the question about becoming too close
We both know where that goes
Reiterating the acknowledgment of potential consequences
So I just ghost
Repeating the choice to abruptly end the relationship (ghosting)
