’The Ghost’ is taken from Anna B Savage’s sophomore album “in|FLUX”, out now on @CitySlang Listen/Buy:
About The Ghost: “Exhausted from years of being haunted by an ex-partner, this song is a plea to let go, or be let go of. Exploring the particular cruelty of the human brain, that love can be felt so deeply, hurt so essentially and so much, and still feel so present many years later.“ Anna B Savage

Lyrics
And he was like
“Look, when we used to brush our teeth
I would brush our teeth
thinking that it was gonna be forever...
But it wasn’t “
We used to notice the same things;
his toenails; that little pug.
But that changed, you couldn’t see
the grave we dug.
You didn’t seem to notice
me, deep in the ground.
I couldn’t move, I called out to you
but made no sound.
Thought you were gone,
but four years on, you’re back again.
Stop haunting me, please.
Just leave me be, please.
When a lover speaks to me,
I’m scared I’ll say your name.
When they’re asleep
with their back facing me
I see your frame.
Though you were gone,
but five years on , you’re back again.
Stop haunting me, please.
Just leave me be, please.
Sometimes my mind drops me
back in our room.
I stand and look around –
the cushions, the grey ground.
Your perfume.
Thought you were gone,
but six years on, you’re back again.
Stop haunting me, please.
Just leave me be, please.
What am I meant to do
With how much I loved you?
It’s everywhere It’s under my nails,
It’s in my hair
Stop haunting me, please
Just leave me be. Please.
