Jonnycake - Beautiful Ghost Lyrics

You're a beautiful ghost
I still remember your face
But I need to see it
I lied when I said that I'm over it
'Cause you are much better than I
Much better than I
Don't you lie now, I know you're listening
You feigned your ignorance while I've been saying
Is my happiness not your happiness
Oh, I lie awake like an optimist
That you'd be back once the tears have fallen
You're not coming back, you're not coming back
But I'm holding out hope to see your face again, you know
You know, I was what you're looking for
And now you're gone before I could say
Those words you needed
That I'm not the one who let this go
Wanting more
Go find a shoulder to cry on and weep
'Cause you're not much better than I
Much better than I
Now you're back to your new beginning
'Cause time's just the cycle that keeps repeating
Ignored the truth in all the signs
They make sense now in hindsight
Tell everybody that it's me who's leaving
I'm not coming back, you're not coming back
But I'm holding out hope to see your face again, you know
You know, I was what you're looking for
And now you're gone before I could say
Those words you needed
That I'm not the one who let this go
Wanting more
Never wanted more
Never wanted more
You know, I was what you're looking for
And now you're gone before I could say
Those words you needed
That I'm not the one who let this go
Wanting more
You're a beautiful ghost
I still remember your face
But I need to see it
And I loved you more than you could know
Even before
