Benson Boone Lyrics
"Ghost Town"
You fill me up till you're empty
I took too much and you let me
We've been down all these roads before
And what we found don't live there anymore
It's dark
It's cold
If my hand is not the one you're meant to hold
Maybe you'd be happier with someone else
Maybe loving me's the reason you can't love yourself
Before I turn your heart into a ghost town
Show me everything we built so I can tear it all down
Down, down, down, down
You know I'll stay, don't you tempt me
But all this weight is getting heavy
Been holding up what wasn't meant to stand
I turned this love into a wasteland
It's dark
It's cold
If my hand is not the one you're meant to hold
Maybe you'd be happier with someone else
Maybe loving me's the reason you can't love yourself
Before I turn your heart into a ghost town
Show me everything we built so I can tear it all down
Down, down, down, down
Tear it all down
Down, down, down, down
The streets are empty
Where love once was but it's faded away
These broken memories
I'm left here alone and afraid to say
Maybe you'd be happier with someone else
Oh
Maybe you'd be happier with someone else
Maybe loving me's the reason you can't love yourself
Before I turn your heart into a ghost town
Show me everything we built so I can tear it all down
Down, down, down, down
Tear it all down
Down, down, down, down
I'll tear it all down
I'll tear it all down

"Ghost Town" is the debut single by Benson Boone. The song was released via Night Street Records, founded by Imagine Dragons' frontman Dan Reynolds, on the 15th of October, 2021. A week prior to the release, Boone shared on Instagram, "This is just the beginning of my career, and with my first song coming out next week, you're going to be able to understand my music and I couldn't be happier. I love all of you so much, and I'm so grateful to be able to be doing what I love."
"I wrote this song about my best friend being in a super toxic relationship," Benson Boone said in a video posted on TikTok on the 6th of October, 2021, "And it's really hard for me to watch because he's hurting so bad, but he won't do anything about it. So, I'm kinda gonna do something about it."
The cover art picture for "Ghost Town" was drawn by Benson Boone himself. He explained, "I used white charcoal on black paper. The drawing took about five hours."
