Lyrics


Ghost

I'm the ghost in your house

Calling your name

My memory lingers

You'll never be the same

I'm the hole in your heart

I'm the stain in your bed

The phantom in your fingers

The voices in your head


One touch is all it took

To draw you in

To leave you hooked

One kiss, you paid the price

You had a taste

Of paradise


Now you're running in circles

Chasing imaginary footsteps

Reaching for shadows

In the bed where I once slept


I'm the ghost in your house

Calling your name

My memory lingers

You'll never be the same

I'm the hole in your heart

I'm the stain in your bed

The phantom in your fingers

The voices in your head


One thought is all it takes

You lose control

You make mistakes

This pain will never leave

Until I die

You'll always grieve


Now you're falling to pieces

Seeing my face wherever you go

Talking to strangers

From a place they'll never know
