You sent a text
It's like the wind changed your mind
We were best friends
Yeah, we were building 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 twenty-twenty
I see through you now
Something has died
Now that I have made up my mind
I'll be alright
It doesn't harm me at night
'Cause every gift and 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 twenty-twenty
I see through you
Now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
So rest in peace
I'll 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
Oh, and there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep
My vision's twenty-twenty
I see through you
Now, now, now, now, now
Oh, now, now, now, now, now
I see through you now
Now, now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now
I see through you now
About This Song
"Ghost" is a haunting pop ballad about the sudden disappearance of someone close, exploring the devastating aftermath of being abandoned without explanation. The song captures the bewildering pain of watching a meaningful relationship vanish instantly-transforming a once-vibrant connection into nothing more than an "echo where your heart used to be." Perry's vulnerable vocals float over a sparse, atmospheric production that mirrors the emptiness left behind, while the lyrics poignantly contrast the warmth of shared intimacy with the cold shock of digital-age abandonment. The track stands out on *Prism* for its raw emotional honesty and its exploration of how modern communication can make ghosting feel even more brutal, turning cherished memories into painful reminders of what's been lost.
