YOU’RE A GHOST TO ME NOW

Lyrics: Ralph Scott Music: Daniel Leo Simpson Vocals: MEGAIDETH

You had a beautiful spirit,

carefree, almost floating on air.

We laughed, we loved, you showed me how.

We lived without hardly a care.

[Then] something wicked stole you away.

A presence I never saw coming.

It possessed you and vaporized me.

Like a note fades away after strumming.

CHORUS

You’re a ghost to me now

A cold apparition.

I’m living alone:

Solitaire superstition.

You’ve buried my heart deeper than it ever could go.

You’re a ghost to me now.

Though your presence is often.

I’m here on my own,

locked deep in this coffin.

I don’t understand why you’re gone, and I don’t wanna know.

At night I reflect in the mirror.

Though I only see visions of you.

Look away, then back, there you are.

Not a word, not even a “Boo!”

Nothing evil, not even scary.

Just emptiness around and within.

Your absence makes me cautious and wary.

And this heart won’t start over again.

[BRIDGE]

It’s pretty transparent that a ghost rules my mind

I’d like to come back, maybe haunt you as well.

I’m not even dead, but you’ve stolen my life

‘Cause I’m a ghost, too, couldn’t you tell?

[REFRAIN]

You’re a ghost to me now

A cold apparition.

I’m living alone

Solitaire superstition.

You’ve buried my heart deeper than it ever could go.

You’re a ghost to me now.

Though your presence is often.

I’m here on my own

Locked deep in this coffin.

I don’t understand why you’re gone, and I don’t wanna know.
