ghosts keep knocking at the back door
tapping on windows
carving past mistakes into the floorboards
you see, ghosts are stuck in a melancholic haze
blind to the growth of a person
only seeing them in negative ways
so rather than allowing them to make a home in your chest
realize it is not you with a problem
it's their inability to give it a rest

ghosts keep knocking at the back door
tapping on windows
carving past mistakes into the floorboards
you see, ghosts are stuck in a melancholic haze
blind to the growth of a person
only seeing them in negative ways
so rather than allowing them to make a home in your chest
realize it is not you with a problem
it's their inability to give it a rest
a gentle reminder that not everybody is not going to see the good in you, some people form an opinion and never look back.
