Ghosts Learning My Name

No ghosts

No chains No almost-love Running

through my veins

No ghosts

No games I don’t want no ghosts Learning my name You said

all the right things With the wrong follow-through Had me looking for

truth In the shape of you I watched your words shine Then

fade by the door I been fooled by pretty I don’t fold

like before You can miss me loudly You can want me late

But don’t bring me love With an exit gate I’m not here

for echoes I’m not here for pain I don’t want no ghosts

Learning my name If you can’t stay solid Don’t stand in my

light If you can’t love honest Don’t call me tonight I’m done

making homes Out of people who change I don’t want no ghosts

Learning my name I don’t want no ghosts learning my name Don’t

say you love me then leave me with blame Don’t touch my

fire if you fear the flame I don’t want no ghosts learning

my name I don’t want no ghosts learning my name Don’t make

a memory out of my pain If you won’t stay,

don’t haunt what remains I don’t want no ghosts learning my name

No ghosts No chains No almost-love Running through my veins

No ghosts No games I don’t want no ghosts Learning my name

I been too open For locked-room hearts Too good at holding What

pulls me apart You can’t be shelter With a storm in your

hands You can’t say forever With one foot in sand I don’t

need magic I need what is true I need the same you

When the night turns blue If you bring me silence After making

it rain

Then I don’t want no ghosts Learning my name If you can’t

stay solid Don’t stand in my light If you can’t love honest

Don’t call me tonight I’m done making homes Out of people who

change I don’t want no ghosts Learning my name I don’t want

no ghosts

learning my name Don’t say you love me then leave me with

blame Don’t touch my fire if you fear the flame I don’t

want no ghosts learning my name I don’t want no ghosts learning

my name Don’t make a memory out of my pain If you

won’t stay, don’t haunt what remains I don’t want no ghosts learning

my name

I’m not scared of love I’m scared of the stain Of letting

somebody Become another ache I’m not hard to hold I’m hard to

replace Once I let you close You live in my space So

don’t be a lesson Don’t be a scar

Don’t be the reason I sleep where you are If you’re only

passing Don’t step in my frame I don’t want no ghosts Learning

my name I don’t want no ghosts learning my name Don’t say

you love me then leave me with blame Don’t touch my fire

if you fear the flame I don’t want no ghosts learning my

name I don’t want no ghosts learning my name Don’t make a

memory out of my pain If you won’t stay,

don’t haunt what remains I don’t want no ghosts learning my name

No ghosts

No chains No almost-love Running through my

veins

No ghosts

No games

I don’t want no ghosts

Learning

name
