Ghost (lyrics)

Did I really love you?
Or was I replacing
A ghost from my past
That left me lonely and sad

I sleep in darkness
Without you...
Sheets rustle lonely in the wind
Since the coming of our end
Under the moon's solitary glance

Did I really know you?
Or was I loving
A ghost from my past
That left me lonely and sad

Without you...
Slowly I feel my life coming apart
Without reason...
Splitting away at its non-cohesive seams
Fraying the edges of my illusive dreams
Turning pictures into reality of what life means

Did I really need you?
Or was I seeking
A ghost from my past
That left me lonely and sad

Without you...
Silence whispers in my ears
Without rhyme...
The truth of love's consequences
Have slowly taken their toll
When I chose not to take the dare
Instead I let the bottle spin on

Did you really love me?
Or were you replacing
A ghost from your past
That left you lonely and sad

I miss those twilight rendezvous
Without you...
All my mornings start so cold
No one to blanket my skin
When the air chills me to the bone

Did you really know me?
Or were you loving
A ghost from your past
That left you lonely and sad

Without you...
Sand slips through time quicker
Without reason...
The days steal away my nights
Replacing them with cold steel
That wraps isolation around my soul

Did you really need me?
Or were you seeking
A ghost from your past
That left you lonely and sad

Without you...
The wind erases my past
Without rhyme...
As I write down my memories
Roll them up inside a bottle
Cast it out into the great vast sea
Wait to see if they return to me

Did we really love each other
Or were we replacing
Ghosts from our pasts
That left us lonely and sad

I feel I'm slowly going insane
Without you...
Wrapped inside my arms
Swimming inside my thoughts
Laying inside my love

Did we really know each other
Or we were loving
Ghosts from our pasts
That left us lonely and sad

Without you...
Slowly I walk in circles
Without reason...
Grasping at thin air
Like a bird without wings
Trying to fly through the sky

Did we really need each other
Or were we seeking
Ghosts from our past
That left us lonely and sad

Without you...
I wonder why I was born
Without rhyme...
As I sit by a babbling brook
Staring at the blinding sun
Wondering if loving you was
Distracting me from living my life

Without each other...
We've become a ghost of love's past
