Ghost Girl

from Recovery Mission by MIDI Myers

lyrics

This place is too big
No surprise that I'm getting sick of it
Every time I turn around
I see her in the corner, dimly lit

She's looking in the window
And I always see her wearing my nightgown
Floating through my bedroom door
She sits upon my bed and she frowns

She says,
Remember when you were happy?
Remember when you still thought things were gonna work out?
Ha ha ha
Remember when you felt comfy?
Remember when you slept long and deep and never had a doubt?
Oh, oh, oh
Remember when hope was still alive
How long it hung on to survive
Well, it's dead now, girl
It's dead now.

Oh my god shut up already
Can't you see that I'm trying to fall asleep?
But I can hear your bass-line thumping
You're the worst kind of creep

Why do you keep hanging around
In every box underneath my bed
Every photo, every regret
Every word running through my head

Saying,
Remember when you were happy?
Remember when you knew what your life was all about?
Ha ha ha
Remember when you felt so lucky?
Remember when you thought that you had everything planned out?
Oh, oh, oh
Remember when hope was still alive
Then met with a thousand tiny knives
Well, it's dead now, for sure
It's dead now.

I haven't forgotten you
I haven't forgotten the girl, the girl I used to be
I could never let go of you
The things that you wanted, haunted, I still see

But you know that I tried
I mean, you're me
So you know that it's time for you to rest in peace

Yes, I remember when I was happy
I believed that we'd be together, in love forever
Ha ha ha
I remember how it seemed
I remember I watched that dream burn into embers
Oh, oh, oh
And now the girl I used to be
Is haunting me, but she –
Well, she's dead now, for sure.
She's dead now.
And instead, now, I'm here.
So, can I go to bed now?

MIDI Myers Boston, Massachusetts

I'm an electro-pop musician who goes by "MIDI Myers," a tribute to my actual name (Maddy Myers) and the MIDI pad that I use when I play live, in conjunction with my keytar and live vocals. My lyrics often blend honest accounts of my own life experiences and anxieties with humor and pop culture allusions, all set to keytar leads, electronic drums, and a comprehensive bank of MIDI synths. ... more
