It's like the wind changed your mind

We were best friends

Yeah, we were burning our lives

With every kiss, and every letter

Every promise of forever, oh

But you hit send

And disappeared in front of my eyes

And now you’re just a ghost

When I look back never would have known that

You could be so cold

Like a stranger vanish like a vapor

There's just an echo where your heart used to be

Now I see it clearly

And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep

My vision's 20/20

I see through you now

You could be so cold

Like a stranger vanish like a vapor

There's just an echo where your heart used to be

Now I see it clearly

And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep

My vision's 20/20

I see through you now

Something is tight

Now that I have made up my mind

I'll be alright

It doesn't harm me at night

'Cause every gift, every letter, every promise of forever

Now, it's out of sight

Like you were never alive

And now you’re just a ghost

When I look back never would have known that

You could be so cold

Like a stranger vanish like a vapor

There's just an echo where your heart used to be

Now I see it clearly

And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep

My vision's 20/20

I see through you now

Now, now, now, now

So rest in piece

I see you on the other side

And now you’re just a ghost

When I look back never would have known that

You could be so cold

Like a stranger vanish like a vapor

There's just an echo where your heart used to be

Now I see it clearly

And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep

My vision's 20/20

I see through you now

Now, now, now, now

I see through you now

Now, now, now, now

I see through you now

About this Song

Ghost by Katy Perry is a poignant pop song that delves into the feelings of abandonment and ghosting in modern relationships. It explores the emotional turbulence one feels when a partner suddenly disappears from their life, leaving them with unanswered questions and heartbreak. Key themes in the song include emotional pain, loss, and the quest for closure. Particularly poignant moments in the song highlight the sense of betrayal and confusion, as the narrator comes to terms with being left behind without any explanation.
