[Verse 1]
I would ask you how you’ve been, it’s all over the internet
But, hey, I mean, we knew that after all
If you’re looking for an autopsy or a half-assed half-apology
Then I think you picked the wrong time to make this call

[Verse 2]
It is not irrelevant that you stopped taking your medicine
But I’m giving you the benefit ’cause it’s raining now
You’ll ask me how the weather is and I’ll slip into some eloquently
Rambling mixed-messaging, I shoulda shut you down
[Refrain]
But when it’s cold and it’s cold and it’s cold and it’s cold
I don’t know, I’m alone, I’m alone, I’m alone, I’m alone

[Verse 3]
I hopе you tell me that you’re winding down, that you lost thе taste to face the crowd
That whatever made you famous made you sick
But you can only do what pain allows, it ain’t up to you to make it out
And there ain’t no shame in calling this thing quits

[Refrain]
But you don’t and you don’t and you don’t and you don’t and you don’t
You’re a ghost, you’re a ghost, you’re a ghost, you’re a ghost, you’re

[Chorus]
Poison spreading to my lungs
I ain’t holding breath, ain’t holding any faith at all
And I’ll pray for you, be in pain for you, I’ll leave the porch light on
Heartbroken, each morning when it’s me that turns it off

[Post-Chorus]
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

[Verse 4]
You act like we just sit up here and wait for you to reappear

But, baby, there are bills to pay and your dad’s road needs salt
And I try to drown out all the talk, the eyeballs in the parking lots
And tell people it ain’t me you want, but I guess you’re my fault

[Refrain]
You’re a ghost, you’re a ghost, you’re a ghost, you’re a ghost, you’re a ghost
And I choke and I choke and I choke and I choke on the

[Chorus]
Poison you’re spreading to my lungs
I ain’t holding breath, ain’t holding any faith at all
And I’ll pray for you, be in pain for you, I’ll leave the porch light on
Heartbroken, each morning when it’s me that turns it off

[Post-Chorus]
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

[Bridge]
Oh-oh
Oh-ah!

[Chorus]
Poison spreading to my lungs
I ain’t holding breath, ain’t holding any faith at all
And I’ll pray for you, be in pain for you, I’ll leave the porch light on
Heartbroken, each morning when it’s me that turns it off

[Post-Chorus]
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes
