[Intro: Michael Bohn]

Standing in front of this bed

With some matches, watch it burn

I pray my body burns, too


[Refrain: Tyler Carter]

Why do (Why do)

I do-do-do the things I do? (Things I do?)

And they blind you (Blind you)

Yet you are the only one who can see what I've done


[Verse 1: Michael Bohn]

Laying here doesn't feel the same

I need to get up and make a change

Get up and get over this

My voice it echoes, my thoughts collide

You said I'm dead to you, I bled for you

Now your dreams can come true

There's a place in my bed where you rested your head

Now I'm resting alone in this bed and it's cold

I feel like a ghost, these memories go up in smoke

You didn't want serious and it made me delirious

2:40 AM all I wrote was


[Refrain: Tyler Carter]

Why do (Why do)

I do-do-do the things I do? (Things I do?)

And they blind you (Blind you)

Yet you are the only one who can see what I've done


[Chorus: Tyler Carter]

Guess I'll never know what I meant to you

This year's been lonely, but at least it's through

I'll write a letter to my former self

Dear Sad Ghost, why'd you put your heart on the shelf?

[Verse 2: Michael Bohn; Tyler Carter]

You took the fun out of living

When you took the life out of me

Take a look into the mirror

But you don't see yourself inside

Watch it crack, oh

Your bad luck started with me

My good luck ended with you


[Bridge: Michael Bohn]

I know you're drunk again (I know you're drunk again)

And not thinking clear (And not thinking clear)

But when you write this down

At least try and sound a bit more sincere


[Chorus: Tyler Carter]

Guess I'll never know what I meant to you

This year's been lonely, but at least it's through

I'll write a letter to my former self

Dear Sad Ghost, why'd you put your heart on the shelf?
