“Ghost of You” Lyrics by Selena Gomez

“Ghost of You” is a song about an abusive relationship and abusive partners. It’s about the person who seems like the one to blame for everything that goes wrong in an abusive relationship. On the surface, it seems like the song is about the person who is abused and abused, while they are the one who should be the one to blame. But, the lyrics talk about how even though the person who is abused has been hurt so many times, they still love the person who is abusing them. This song is about recognizing that you are worth more than someone who abuses you.

“Ghost of You” by Selena Gomez Lyrics

Turn my back to the door,
Feels so much better now
No need to try, anymore
Nothing left to lose
As the voice that’s in the air saying, ‘Don’t look back to nowhere’
There’s a force that’s always there

And I’ll never be, quite the same as I was before these,
Part of you, still remains
Oh, its out of focus
Your just somewhere that I’ve been
And I won’t go back again
Your just somewhere that I’ve been

I’m breathing in, breathing out
Ain’t that what it’s all about?
Living life, crazy loud
Like I have the right to
No more words, in my mouth,
Nothing left to figure out,
But I don’t think I’ll ever break through,
The ghost of you

And I’ll never be like I was, the day I met you
To naive? Yes, I was
Boy that’s why I let you in
Wear your memory like a stain
Can’t erase or numb the pain,
Here to stay with me forever

I’m breathing in, breathing out
Ain’t that what it’s all about?
Living life, crazing loud
Like I have the right to
No more words, in my mouth,
Nothing left to figure out,
But I don’t think I’ll ever break through,
The ghost of you

One of these days I’ll wake up from this, bad dream I’m dreaming
One of these days I’ll pray that I’ll be over, over, over you
One of these days I’ll realize that I’m to tired of feeling confused,
But for now there’s a reason that your still here in my heart

I’m breathing in, breathing out
Ain’t that what it’s all about?
Living life, crazing loud
Like I have the right to
No more words, in my mouth,
Nothing left for me to doubt
But I don’t think I’ll ever break through,
The ghost of you

Breathing in, breathing out
Breathing in, breathing out
Like I have the right too
No more words, in my mouth
Nothing left to figure out
But I don’t think I’ll ever break through,
The ghost of you
