Issues - Sad Ghost Lyrics






Standing in front of this bed with some matches watch it burn
I pray my body burns too

Why do I do the things I do
And they blind you
Yet you are the only one who can see what I've done

Laying here doesn't feel the same
I need to get up and make a change
Get up and get over this
My voice it echoes my thoughts collide
You said I'm dead to you I bled for you
Now your dreams can come true
There's a place in my bed where you rested your head
Now I'm resting alone in this bed and it's cold
I feel like a ghost, these memories go up in smoke
You didn't want serious and It made me delirious
2: 40 AM all I wrote was

Why do I do the things I do
And they blind you
Yet you are the only one who can see what I've done

Guess I'll never know what I meant to you
This year's been lonely but at least it's through
I'll write a letter to my former self
Dear sad ghost, why'd you put your heart on the shelf

You took the fun out of living
When you took the life out of me

Take a look into the mirror
But you don't see yourself inside
Watch it crack
Your bad luck started with me
And my good luck ended with you

I know you're drunk again, and not thinking clear
But when you write this down, at least try and sound
A bit more sincere

Guess I'll never know what I meant to you
This year's been lonely but at least it's through
I'll write a letter to my former self
Dear sad ghost, why'd you put your heart on the shelf

    "Standing in front of this bed lays a man just watching PORN!"

    I'm disappointed with you issues. This was the perfect moment...

    ps: You cant unhear it though...

  4. J.... S....

    Still the best issues song IMO

  5. j.... O....

    One of the best albums ever

  6. J.... ....

    Fuck you. Nobody ever calls or messages, drives, or walks, these songs are all I got. Why can't we ever have nice things California. And I'm not a jew.

  17. Q.... W....

    This will forever be my favorite Issues song. I'm so sad Michael isn't part of the band anymore, but I'll be looking out for his new project, and I'm interested to see where Issues goes with their next album.

    3:11 probably one of my favorite parts off of this song

    V.... 7....

    Seriously! It mixes that erie sounding ontro with the insanely catchy chorus! One of my all time fav songs from Issues and one of their lesser known ones

  55. a.... m....

    a.... m....

    can someone do an instrumental version?? this song is sick

  60. P.... _....

    "You're listening to sad ghosts" WAIT WHAT IM LISTENING TO GHOSTS

  61. A.... D....

    The first 30 seconds is the best thing I've heard in music in the last years... sorry for the fans, but I've stopped after that.

    And it seems I'm the only one who correctly heard "burn". So sad our generation is so addicted to fake plastic sex (I used to be, so I'm not judging anyone here).

  62. C.... C....

    Is it just me or does 3:10 kinda sound like usher caught up? lol... However sick song!

  63. F.... ....

    white dude, I do do do, do the big black dude.

    F.... ....

    whyyyyyyyyyyyyy LOL omg

    F.... ....

    F.... ....

    FootyManagerTV I'll never hear it any other way now..

  64. E.... ....

    Do they have any songs that sound mostly like the part that starts 0:57 ?

    E.... ....

    +DevilMayTekken
    late, hooligans

    E.... ....

    +DevilMayTekken tears on the runway

  65. T.... W....

    love it.

  66. R.... ....

    Seems like everyone is focusing on the intro where it sounds like hes screaming about meth and porn. What about at 1:52 where it sounds like he screams, "STOP...FARTING AND GET MY MOUTHWASH."?

    R.... ....

    +Rammeh Oh my god, Now I won't be able to unhear that, lmfao.

  67. M.... ....

    "Standing in front of this bed, with some meth, just watching porn!" XD

  68. T.... ....

    2:21 i can't help but dance lol

    T.... ....

    Ikr? Dance/headbang lol

  69. L.... S....

    "Standing in front of this bed with some meth just watching porn"

  70. b.... ....

  71. L.... H....

    Standing in front of this bed with some meth just watching porn

  72. C.... D....

    0:33 Standing in front of this bed with some meth, just watching PORN!

  73. M.... 9....

    This song makes me really sad for some reason

  74. I.... T....

    "I know you're drunk again, ( I know you're drunk again) and not thinking clear.
    But when you write this down,
    At least try and sound a bit more sincere."

  75. J.... ....

    The chorus gives me so much LIFE

  76. P.... L....

    SHIT GETTING FRIED ON IT'S BED, I'M SO MEAN, JUST WATCHING POORRNNN

  77. S.... S....

    I always hear "FARTING IN HELL" at 1:56 >.<

  78. R.... S....

    this is my fucking life right now

  79. M.... S....

    why are they sad

  80. B.... ....

    Guess I'll never know what I meant to you, this years been lonely but at least it's through, I'll write a letter to my former self; dear sad ghost, why'd you put your heart on a shelf? Love that line 😍😍 for me this song is regretting being sad over someone who broke your heart. Which I totally understand haha

  81. v.... s....

    mY CHILD

  82. J.... S....

    If all of the parts with the girl singer in the band were cut out, they would be a pretty killer band.

    J.... S....

    +Spherecy Music There's no girl in this band.

    J.... S....

    +Kyanna Peerman it was sarcasm towards the feminine singer of theirs.

    J.... S....

    Yeah not funny. The band is great with Tyler in it

    J.... S....

    it wasnt a joke. Im glad you like his singing. Im not trying to hate. I just happen to turn the song off as soon as he starts singing.

  83. K.... ....

    it my favorite song

  84. D.... M....

    I just realized after listening to this song repeatedly giving no need to really thoroughly read the lyrics it's about false love & suicide..

  85. J.... S....

    Standing in front of this bed with some matches watch it burn
    anyone else hear that? because im not 12 and hear porn and shit

    J.... S....

    @bella scobie she knows whats up

    J.... S....

    +Josh Simmons Wow your so mature damn man thanks for flaunting that like it's impressive or something. Really makes you look so adult! Keep it up!

    J.... S....

    Josh Simmons You don't have to be a certain age just to act immature. I'm 13 and I don't act like these cunts writing crap that doesn't make the song sound better, yet they just believe it's funny. You have a point, but please put it in a way that doesn't put an age limit for people of that age because some of us know better than to act like a lowlife.

    J.... S....

    Josh Simmons that’s what I hear

  86. D.... ....

    god, this song means everything :3

  87. D.... ....

    I will acknowledge it x1,000

  88. h.... ....

    I never thought I could like a band like this (heavy with a soft singer), but then Issues

  89. U.... w....

    Can somebody tell me whats the meaning of this song I'll Appreciate it

    U.... w....

    +Jose Rivera Some say it's about the Singer wanting to commit suicide. "I'll write a letter to my former self" can be seen as a suicide letter the singer wirtes for anybody to find. I think that it can also be about Depression and the singer is talking to himself the whole time. With "Dear Sad Ghost" he's reffering to himself. He was sad and empty in the past and is now on a better way. At least that's how I see it in short :)
    Sorry if I'm late, but I came across this song only a week ago xD

    U.... w....

    +AnaBanana onPineappleTrees I don't think it's that serious. I think it's about a girl that he used date. She used to sleep in his bed. They broke up. He died inside. A year later he got over it and asking why he didn't heal sooner, why he shut himself off to love for so long, and then he was also watching porn or something...

    U.... w....

    that, totally just what was on my mind!

  90. S.... a....

    I love this song

  91. N.... S....

    0:33 - 0:39 "Standing in front of this bed, with a man just watching porn!"

    N.... S....

    Fuckin great

    N.... S....

    I'm dead

  94. t.... ....

    "Do do doo I took a big bad doo doo" Why is this all I hear noww, I can't stop laughingg 😩

    t.... ....

    +Nattyproxen It sounds nothing like that. Grow up.

    t.... ....

    @Brennan Pline Yet basically the whole comment section is filled with misheard lyrics, "grow up".

    t.... ....

    And the comment section being full of immature people doing the exact same thing justifies it how...?

    t.... ....

    @Brennan Pline That out of all the comments you choose to get butt hurt over mine, and grow a sense of humor, it's not that big of an issue

    t.... ....

    +Brennan Pline Who pissed in your cornflakes mate, she was having a joke, not like she killed your cat is it

  95. a.... ....

    Standing in front of this bed with some matches watch it burn 
    I pray my body burns too

    Why do I do the things that I do
    And they blind you

    I need to get up and make a change

    You took the fun out of living 
    When you took the life out of me

  96. K.... D....

    I've never too sure about how much I liked this song compared to the others, but after listening to it a few times over again I am really liking it.

  97. L.... O....

    Don't like the screams so much but the actual singing is amazing.

  98. A.... R....

    2:55 that transition is so majestic

    A.... R....

    YES IT IS

  99. F.... M....

    1:45 I FEEL LIKE A GOAT!!!

    F.... M....

    This is why I hate reading the comments 😂
