You Got Ghosted

Lyrics

Words and Music Copyright © ℗ 2022 by Scott Richard Cooley


You thought her love would never change

But she cheated and lied, then things got strange

She cut all ties, had to go astray

Her spirit might linger, but it's gonna float away


She's dead to you now, her former self is gone

This ship has sailed, now you've gotta move on


You got ghosted, she didn't reply

No text, no call, and no reason why

You got ghosted, she never said goodbye

Didn't want confrontation, or to see you cry


If you knew the truth, you'd never take her back

That's why she had to stage a disappearing act

You'll get over her soon, there's no need to explain

She might haunt you for a while, but time will make her fade


She's dead to you now, her former self is gone

This ship has sailed, now you've gotta move on


You got ghosted, she didn't reply

No text, no call, and no reason why

You got ghosted, she never said goodbye

Didn't want confrontation, or to see you cry


You got ghosted, now she's a shadowy trace

So put her out of your mind, and forget her face

You got ghosted, she knew she lost her chance

And she didn't deserve any more of your romance


She could apologize in person, admit she was bad

Beg your forgiveness, and promise to be better

But she'd feel guilty, so she'll hover into the foggy mist

No last kiss and no breakup letter


You got ghosted, a French goodbye

She just up and vanished in the blink of an eye

You got ghosted, she's not friendly like Casper

Had to stop all contact before the disaster

You got ghosted, she took the easy way out

But it's a waste of time to try to hunt her down

You got ghosted, like a snahp chaht she's gone

But you're better off, so now it's time to move on

Information

An early draft of this had the lyrics as "I" got ghosted, but after reading songwriting advice from some old country guy in Nashville, I changed it to "you" because he said never write anything that makes the singer look bad, and anytime a song is about yourself and negative, make it be about someone else, so the bad unflattering things happen to him, not you.
