All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room
– Katoa o te iwi kua ghosted ahau tu i reira i roto i te piha

I should not be left to my own devices

They come with prices and vices
– Haere mai ratou ki te utu me vices
I end up in crises
– Mutu ahau ake i roto i mōrearea
Tale as old as time

One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving

And I’m a monster on the hill
– Na he taniwha ahau I runga i te pukepuke
Too big to hang out

Slowly lurching toward your favorite city

Pierced through the heart but never killed

The family gathers ’round and reads it
