Ghost

I wake up in the morning and look for a sign
That you’ve come back and changed your mind
But all of these nightmares I’ve been living through
Torture my heart cause I know it’s true

All of our children we’ll never hold
And all our “I love you’s” left untold
These memories unmade still haunt my mind
But they’re all I have left from what you left behind

All that you’ll miss, all that you’ve lost
Please don’t tell me it was worth the cost
Once she came you were good as gone
So why do I see your shadow all day long
I know you’ve left town but your ghost still hangs around

I can’t go near the river where we’d swim at night
I don’t dare cross the bridge where we stayed till light
I can’t go anyplace cause you might be there
I know now you’re gone but you’re still everywhere

All that you’ll miss, all that you’ve lost
Please don’t tell me it was worth the cost
Once she came you were good as gone
So why do I see your shadow all day long
I know you’ve left town but your ghost still hangs around

I close my eyes and try to somehow see
Some shard of a memory, a shadow of when we
Were more than shattered dreams
