lyrics
I've seen a ghost
She looks like you and she pulled up in your car
Then she marched in through the front door
Like she'd never left at all
And it hurts because she sounds like you when she says she'll never leave
Through the window I could see the truth and I know what she really means
Cause you, you didn't see me notice you
You didn't see me notice you
So take your records and
Your cigarettes in hand
And leave the lights out when you go
Cause you can lie and say
That you've come back to stay
But if that's what your intentions are
Then why did I see you
Then why did I see you
Put your suitcase in the car
I've seen a ghost
And I know it's you but it's easier to pretend
Maybe this way it'll make more sense
When you disappear again
Cause I know that you don't love me like you loved me yesterday
Through the window I could see the things that you would never say
Cause you, you didn't see me notice you
You didn't see me notice you
So take your records and
Your cigarettes in hand
And leave the lights out when you go
Cause you can lie and say
That you've come back to stay
But if that's what your intentions are
Then why did I see you
Then why did I see you
Put your suitcase in the car
Ghosts don't leave because they're scared
Ghosts don't hide and ghosts don't care
Cause ghosts aren't ever really there
So take your records and
Your cigarettes in hand
And leave the lights out when you go
Cause you can lie and say
That you've come back to stay
But if that's what your intentions are
Then why did I see you
Then why did I see you
Put your suitcase in the car
She looks like you and she pulled up in your car
Then she marched in through the front door
Like she'd never left at all
And it hurts because she sounds like you when she says she'll never leave
Through the window I could see the truth and I know what she really means
Cause you, you didn't see me notice you
You didn't see me notice you
So take your records and
Your cigarettes in hand
And leave the lights out when you go
Cause you can lie and say
That you've come back to stay
But if that's what your intentions are
Then why did I see you
Then why did I see you
Put your suitcase in the car
I've seen a ghost
And I know it's you but it's easier to pretend
Maybe this way it'll make more sense
When you disappear again
Cause I know that you don't love me like you loved me yesterday
Through the window I could see the things that you would never say
Cause you, you didn't see me notice you
You didn't see me notice you
So take your records and
Your cigarettes in hand
And leave the lights out when you go
Cause you can lie and say
That you've come back to stay
But if that's what your intentions are
Then why did I see you
Then why did I see you
Put your suitcase in the car
Ghosts don't leave because they're scared
Ghosts don't hide and ghosts don't care
Cause ghosts aren't ever really there
So take your records and
Your cigarettes in hand
And leave the lights out when you go
Cause you can lie and say
That you've come back to stay
But if that's what your intentions are
Then why did I see you
Then why did I see you
Put your suitcase in the car
