Ghost of What You Were

Lyrics

(Ooh, ooh...) (Fading like a dream in grey...) (Holding what you took away...) I hold a bouquet of withered white, Pressed against my chest in the fading light. Looking away from where the future should be, Drowning in the ghost of what you were to me. My eyes are heavy, rimmed with a quiet pain, Like a field that's forgotten the feel of the rain. You left a silence louder than any word, The sweetest promise I have ever heard. And I'm spinning in circles, in shades of monotone, Learning how to breathe in this house made of stone. The petals are falling, one by one to the floor, Reminding me of what isn't there anymore. I AM LOST IN THE GREY, I AM HOLDING THE GHOST! OF THE ONE THAT I LOVED AND THE ONE I MISSED MOST! LOOK AWAY, LOOK AWAY, FROM THE LIGHT THAT IS GONE! BUT THE MEMORY LINGERS AND IT CARRIES ME ON! Every flower I hold is a piece of my heart, And it's tearing my world and my spirit apart. (Tearing it apart...) (I'm still holding on.) I remember the way that you laughed in the dark, How your simplest touch used to kindle a spark. Now the silence is heavy and the shadows are deep, And I'm holding onto secrets that I can not keep. Are you looking at the same sky wherever you are? Feeling the pull of this distant and beautiful star? Or am I just a phantom in a story you told? A memory fading, growing brittle and cold. I AM LOST IN THE GREY, I AM HOLDING THE GHOST! OF THE ONE THAT I LOVED AND THE ONE I MISSED MOST! LOOK AWAY, LOOK AWAY, FROM THE LIGHT THAT IS GONE! BUT THE MEMORY LINGERS AND IT CARRIES ME ON! Every flower I hold is a piece of my heart, And it's tearing my world and my spirit apart. (Tearing it apart...) (I'm still holding on.) (In the dark, I can see...) (The ghost of you and me.) Tell me where do the broken hearts go to heal? When the memories feel more alive than what's real. I'm still holding these flowers, though they're turning to dust, Living on memories because I simply must. LOOK AT ME NOW, SEE THE PAIN IN MY EYES! SEE THE END OF THE STORY, THE END OF THE LIES! I AM LOST IN THE GREY, I AM HOLDING THE GHOST! OF THE ONE THAT I LOVED AND THE ONE I MISSED MOST! LOOK AWAY, LOOK AWAY, FROM THE LIGHT THAT IS GONE! BUT THE MEMORY LINGERS AND IT CARRIES ME ON! Every flower I hold is a piece of my heart, And it's tearing my world and my spirit apart. (Tearing it apart...) (I'm still holding on.) (Fading away...) Withered flowers... and a faded frame. (I still remember your name...) Look away.
