I Believe in Ghosts

We all try to escape the ones who hurt us deepest, but do we?

Why do you follow me everywhere?
Show up in every boy I meet,
In every boy who looks at me?
I used to trust them
Look at them with confidence.
But ever since you left me
I’ve believed in ghosts.

I told myself I was over it
But the damage ran too deep.
No matter who it is
I see your misdeeds.
You inhabit the souls of others
So I’m forced to remember you
Forced to feel that hurt again and again
Ever since you left me
I’ve believed in ghosts.

I thought I could trust him.
I thought he would rid me of you.
But you got to him too.
You shattered that hope
And worsened my mistrust.
I’m haunted by a memory.
One that won’t leave
Or let me go.
Ever since you left me
I’ve believed in ghosts.

I swear I keep seeing shadows
Your ghost behind friendly eyes.
Should I be afraid
That you’ll never leave?
You follow me everywhere,
But maybe I’m just crazy.
Haunted, cursed, it all boils down to
Ever since you left me
I’ve believed in ghosts.
