Lyrics

It was going so well
I thought it was so swell
When he would come over
I called him my dear
But he’s no longer here
And I feel so sober
It all seems so unfair
Like he was never there
And I’m feeling cursed
A simple text is all it’d take
To remove all this heartache
Cuz
Getting ghosted’s the worst
This always happens
Like I made some blunder
This always happens
Now I'm left to wonder
A familiar refrain
I'm wracking my brain
To figure it out
Why did he disappear
Just as we grew so near
It fills me with doubt
Was I not good enough
This is all just so tough
I hate this the most
I just don't understand
Why he can't be a man
Instead of a ghost
Don’t need a ghost
No we don’t want a ghost
What we want is a man
And never a ghost [echo]
So he never wrote back
It's been three weeks in fact
I thought we were cool
Was I too forward or
Not as good as before
Did I break some rule
He could have told me why
Or at least a goodbye
Or even a letter
When will they learn
It’s an ending we yearn
Ghosting isn’t better
This always happens
Like I made some blunder
This always happens
Now I'm left to wonder
A familiar refrain
I'm wracking my brain
To figure it out
Why did he disappear
Just as we grew so near
It fills me with doubt
Was I not good enough
This is all just so tough
I hate this the most
I just don't understand
Why he can't be a man
Instead of a ghost
Don’t need a ghost
No we don’t want a ghost
What we want is a man
And never a ghost [echo]
It’s been well over a year now
I healed and moved on somehow
I found someone new
It wasn’t that easy for me
Now trust isn’t given so freely
So when I heard from you
After all this time and pain
Thought you could appear again
So get this through your head
You won’t rekindle our romance
You screwed up and lost the chance
Your ghost can just stay dead
So next time you start to flirt
If things change, just don’t hurt
It’s not that hard to say
That you don’t feel the same way
Don’t just leave them on read
Tell them the truth instead
A familiar refrain
No wracking their brain
To figure it out
Why did he disappear
Just as they grew so near
It fills em with doubt
Were they not good enough
This is all just so tough
They hate this the most
They won’t understand
So next time be a man
Instead of a ghost
Don’t need a ghost
No we don’t want a ghost
What we want is a man
And never a ghost [echo]
That’s right Casper
Be a man instead of a ghost

Behind the Music

Composer’s Thoughts

We are so lucky to be able to work with this amazing style and vocals. I wanted to write something that explores the real world but also when it came time to do a video, we could play into the anime aspect as well. Thus, when I remembered I had a song brewing about being ghosted, I thought it would be super fun for us to pit our girls like ghost-hunters, swapping back and forth between the metaphor and reality.

The Kay Tones’ Thoughts

I think we can all agree, getting ghosted is the worst. It really sucks. And it happens all the time. Hopefully we can help change that with this song. If even one person thinks twice then it will be worth it.
