Ghost of a Girlfriend Past — Lyrics

Listen everywhere ▸

The ache of watching an ex move on, knowing you shaped the person someone else now loves.

Saw you in a photograph last night Oh, I thought I might die Never thought I'd see you happier Now she's in the seat I used to ride Windows down on the passenger side Singing all the songs I showed ya I made the man you fell in love with Got you laughing at all the jokes I told him Thought it all for something But it was all for nothing Now I'm just the ghost of a girlfriend past Built you all up just to watch it crash Bet she doesn't know that I made you like that Bet she doesn't know that I loved you like that Try to move on but it makes me mad 'Cause she got the you that I almost had I loved him first but yours will last So guess I'm just the ghost of a girlfriend past I still got the sweater that you wore Kinda makes me sad so I shove it in the drawer Right next to our forever She's sitting with your family at your game She's even got your number and your name On the back of every jersey Oh, it hurts me Now I'm just the ghost of a girlfriend past Built you all up just to watch it crash Bet she doesn't know that I made you like that Bet she doesn't know that I loved you like that Try to move on but it makes me mad 'Cause she got the you that I almost had I loved him first but yours will last So guess I'm just the ghost of a girlfriend past
