  • I'm just a ghost, but I'm not the only one,
    I guess I'm not the only one

    This one's for the kids that walk around with their hoodies up
    No one to talk to and and on the verge of givin' up
    Same shit, different day, nothing seems to work out
    Headphones on, always tryin' to tune the world out
    And this one's for the kids that get picked last
    Yeah, so might as well just skip gym class
    Why not? I bet no one would even notice
    'Cause no one really cares when you're down, feeling hopeless
    And this one's for the kids that at lunch sit slone
    So embarassed you pretendin' that you're on the phone
    But then you realize that it doesn't really help
    'Cause ain't nobody on the line, you're just talking to yourself

    And it stinks, right?! Yeah, I know
    Sometimes it feels like you're on your own
    Trust me, you were not the only one, life has only just begun
    Just remember that you're not alone

    I'm just a ghost, oh-hoo (yeah)
    They're staring right at me, (right at me)
    Looking right pass me, (right pass me)
    I'm just a ghost oh-hoo (yeah)
    Who do I turn to (Who do I turn to)
    When I feel see-through? (yeah, see-through, yeah)
    I'm just a ghost, but I'm not the only one,
    I guess I'm not the only one

    Like you feel invisible, but I can see you
    You're callin' out, nobody's answering, but I can hear you
    They don't like me, they don't get me, they don't feel my pain
    But there's a million people out there who relate to you or feel the same
    Yeah, so just smile and you'll be alright
    When you're feeling like a ghost blowing through the air
    Remember stars still shine in the darkest nights
    Even when you can't see 'em, they're always there
    Yeah, so keep your eyes up to the sky
    We're all in this together, we gonna make it if we try
    It's hard when you're feeling like you're lost and forgotten
    And you got no one around to dry your tears, when you cry

    And it stinks, right?! Yeah, I know
    Sometimes it feels like you're on your own
    Trust me, you were not the only one, life has only just begun
    Just remember that you're not alone

    I'm just a ghost, oh-hoo (yeah)
    They're staring right at me, (right at me)
    Looking right pass me, (right pass me)
    I'm just a ghost oh-hoo (yeah)
    Who do I turn to (Who do I turn to)
    When I feel see-through? (yeah, see-through, yeah)

    So tonight, I'ma fly up to the sky and let the whole world see me
    And if you're feeling how I'm feeling you should come along with me
    It's the last time you'll ever look pass me again
    I'm not a ghost, I'm more alive than I've ever been
    I'm let the whole world see me
    And if you're feeling how I'm feeling you should come along with me
    It's the last time you'll ever look pass me again
    I'm not a ghost, I'm more alive than I've ever been

    I'm just a ghost, oh-hoo
    They're staring right at me,
    Looking right pass me,
    I'm just a ghost oh-hoo
    Who do I turn to (yeah)
    When I feel see-through? (come on)

    I'm just a ghost, oh-hoo (yeah)
    They're staring right at me, (right at me)
    Looking right pass me, (right pass me)
    I'm just a ghost (you're not a ghost)
    Who do I turn to (so keep your head up)
    When I feel see-through? (and one day the whole world's gonna see you, yeah)

    I'm just a ghost, but I'm not the only one,
    I guess I'm not the only one Writer/s: CHAZ WILLIAM MISHAN, DAVID ANTHONY DELAZYN, JAKE HARRIS MILLER, JEREMY RANDOLPH THURBER, NIKKI FLORES
