Mm, mm-mm
I would ask you how you've been, it's all over the internet
But, hey, I mean, we knew that after all
If you're lookin' for an autopsy or a half-assed half-apology
Then I think you picked the wrong time to make this call
It is not irrelevant that you stopped takin' your medicine
But I'm givin' you the benefit 'cause it's rainin' out
I'll tell you how the weather is and you'll slip into some eloquently
Ramblin' mixed-messagin', I should shut you down
But when it's cold, and it's cold, and it's cold, and it's cold
And I don't know, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone
I hope you tell me that you're windin' down, that you lost the taste to face the crowd
That whatever made you famous made you sick
But you can only do what pain allows, it ain't up to you to make it out
And there ain't no shame in callin' this thing quits
But you don't, and you don't, but you don't, and you don't, and you don't
You're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, and you're–
Poison spreadin' to my lungs
I ain't holdin' breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you, I'll leave the porch light on
Heartbroken, each mornin' when it's me that turns it off
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes
You act like we just sit up here and wait for you to reappear
But, baby, there are bills to pay and your dad's road needs salt
And I try to drown out all the talk, the eyeballs in the parkin' lots
And tell people it ain't me you want, but I guess you're my fault
You're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost
And I choke, and I choke, and I choke, and I choke on the–
Poison you're spreadin' to my lungs
I ain't holdin' breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you, I'll leave the porch light on
Heartbroken, each mornin' when it's me that turns it off
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes
Ooh-oh
Poison, you're spreadin' to my lungs
I ain't holdin' a breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you, I'll leave the porch light on
Heartbroken, each mornin' when it's me that turns it off
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes
