lyrics

GHOST UNDER MY SKIN

It just feels like a minute
Since we said farewell
I think I’m moving on
But I really can’t tell

So now what?
We just wait for this feeling to pass us by?
Might as well wait for
the sea to run dry

Cause you were my best friend
But now you closed the door
And that doesn’t keep me
from loving you anymore

Cause the deeper you go
The more it cuts like a knife
Sometimes a scar
is the sacrifice

Last night I held you in my arms for the final time
I always thought that love like this could make it through the night
I know that you wanted it as much, but you wouldn’t let it in
And now you’re just a stranger to me, a ghost under my skin

Fool's gold, is easy to find
But you showed me something rare, I didn’t know was mine
And it ain’t easy, to put this book back on the shelf
Cause losing you is really losing a part of myself

And I’m tired of this story
It’s old now let it burn
And with it all the pages
we’ll never turn

Cause I’m not here to inspire you
to join me on the bridge
And though I miss your kisses
I don’t miss your ambivalence

Last night I held you in my arms for the final time
I always thought that love like this could make it through the night
I know that you wanted it as much, but you wouldn’t let it in
And now you’re just a stranger to me, a ghost under my skin
