lyrics

The ghost of the girl next door is haunting me
Can hear her all the time even in my sleep
I can feel her presence seeping in
Depleting my body of oxygen

Maybe some people are just doomed from the start
People are machines some have broken or missing parts
Born to a mother who had no plans for keeping her
Adopted by some couple who had no right in raising her

Her parents enrolled her in catholic school
Made her train for competitive dance in a basement studio
Knocked up at 16 by a neighborhood boy home from college
Kicked out of dance and school had an early marriage

I’m reminded of her at the weirdest times
Mid 00’s scary movies make me want to cry
Watched them together every Friday junior year
I can see her stare I can see her stare

I know she loved being a mother
But I can’t imagine how hard it is to be robbed of
Your late childhood, being stuck with something you don’t love
Screaming fights most nights baby crying pink wine

At her funeral only childhood pics were on the screen
Like she had died back when she was 16
Her mom looked like the happiest mourner I’d ever seen
That smile still haunts my dreams

[chorus] x2
