Verse 1:
Say you stay at home, alone with the flu
Find out from friends that wasn't true
Go out at night with your headphones on, again
And walk through the Manhattan valleys of, the dead
Chorus:
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost
But I don't want anybody else, I don't want anybody else
Verse 2:
You said I came close as anyone's come
to live underwater for more than a month
You said it was not inside my heart, it was
You said it should tear a kid apart, it does
Chorus:
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost
But I don't want anybody else, I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else, I don't want anybody else
Bridge:
I had a hole in the middle where the lightning went through it
told my friends not to worry
I had a hole in the middle someone's sideshow wouldn't do it
I told my friends not to worry
Chorus:
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost
