Ghost to Forget

I left your shoes by the door

Like I was never here before

Your coffee ring on my book

Still makes me turn and look

I folded my blue sweater slow

You liked the way the sleeves would fall

Now every thread in my hands

Feels like somebody else’s fall

Don’t ask me to stay

I’m already halfway gone

I practiced this goodbye

So I wouldn’t break too long

Just forget about me

I’ll leave, I’ll leave

I promise it’ll be

Like I never existed

Forget about me

I’m just a ghost

I need to disappear

Before I hurt you most

I know the shape of your mouth

When you’re tryin' not to fall apart

I know you’d reach for my name

Like a hand across your dark

But I can’t be your almost

I can’t be your maybe

You deserved a whole heart

Not the pieces left in me

Don’t ask me to stay

I’m already halfway gone

I practiced this goodbye

So I wouldn’t break too long

Just forget about me

I’ll leave, I’ll leave

I promise it’ll be

Like I never existed

Forget about me

I’m just a ghost

I need to disappear

Before I hurt you most

If I loved you right

I would vanish clean

No footprints, no goodbyes

No shadow in your dreams

Take my picture down

Let the silence grow

Let the empty room

Be the only thing you know

Just forget about me

I’ll leave, I’ll leave

I promise it’ll be

Like I never existed

Forget about me

I’m just a ghost

I need to disappear

So you can let me go

Forget about me

(Forget about me)

I’ll leave, I’ll leave

(I’ll leave)

I was never yours to hold

And you were never mine to lose
