Ghosts
Hannah Darling Lyrics

He walked down a busy street
He was walking aimlessly on a crowded street

Staring solely at his feet
He was lost in his thoughts and not paying attention to anything around him

Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side
He was holding on to memories of his previous relationships

Sat at the table where she sat
He sat at the same table where his current lover sat earlier

And removed his hat
As a gesture of respect, he took off his hat

In respect of her presence
He wanted to honor her presence

Presents her with the pictures and says:
He gave her the photos and spoke

"These are just ghosts that broke my heart before i met you."
He explained that the pictures were of people who hurt him before he met his current girlfriend

"These are just ghosts that broke my heart before i met you"
He repeated that the images were of his past broken relationships

Opened up his little heart
He revealed his vulnerable side

Unlocked the lock that kept it dark
He let go of his emotional baggage that he was holding on to

And read a written warning
He came across a warning in written form

Saying i′m still mourning
The warning confirmed that he was still grieving his past

Over ghosts
He was still haunted by his past relationships

Over ghosts
He was still troubled by the memory of his past partners

Over ghosts
He was still saddened by his past breakups

Over ghosts
He was still trying to come to terms with his past

Over ghosts that broke my heart before i met you'
He was hurt by the ghosts of his past relationships even though he met a new love

Lover, please do not
He addressed his current girlfriend

Fall to your knees
He didn't want her to feel devastated

It′s not
It's not that serious

Like i believe in
As if I have faith in

Everlasting love
The concept of 'forever love' seemed unrealistic to him

He went crazy at nineteen
He lost his mind when he was young

Said he'd lost all his self esteem
He had no confidence

And couldn't understand why he was crying
He was unable to comprehend his emotions

He would stare at empty chairs
He was lost in thought, staring at unoccupied seats

Think of the ghosts that once sat there
He recalled the memories of past relationships while staring at the empty chairs

The ghosts who broke his heart.
The memory of his past relationships continued to hurt him

"Oh! the ghosts that broke my heart"
He expressed his hurt and disappointment at his past relationships

The ghosts that broke his heart
His past relationships continued to haunt him

"Oh! the ghosts that broke my heart"
He reiterated his emotional turmoil caused by his past relationships

The ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts
The repetition emphasizes the pain and abundance of the ghosts in his past relationships

The ghosts that broke my heart before i met you.
He still had unresolved issues with his past relationships even though he found new love

He says i′m so lost,
He expressed his confusion and disorientation

Not at all well
He is not doing well emotionally

Do as done and there is nothing left to be
His advice to his girlfriend is to deal with issues when they arise and to not let them linger

Turned out i′d been following him and he'd been following me
It turned out they were both following each other, and not just one person following the other

Do as done after it was over
They should apply what they learned after their past relationships ended

We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulders
Both of them, as lovers, were a source of comfort to one another

Lover, please do not
Again, he addressed his partner

Fall to your knees
He didn't want them to feel devastated

It′s not
It's not that serious

Like i ever believed in
The artist did not have faith in or believe in

Everlasting love
The idea of love lasting a lifetime seemed unrealistic to him
