The Ghost That Got Away

I’m wide awake, I’m breathing but
You’ve got your hands around my neck
Thought I tricked you into feeling but, you never would confess
You’re dead like naked winter
Still, I cling to you
I’d do anything
You’re a crutch, you’re the only one
But, time is everything
We’ve got it all 'till we’ve all got none
It’s the game we like to play
A little love, a little hate
I’d take it all for you
You’re the ghost that got away
I’m fast asleep, I’m dreaming
Looking for the outline of your face
Thought I found you in the picture but
It stutters frame to frame
You vanish so romantic
Still, I cling to you
I’d do anything
You’re a crutch, you’re the only one
But, time is everything
We’ve got it all 'till we’ve all got none
It’s the game we like to play
A little love, a little hate
I’d take it all for you
You’re the ghost that got away
You used to keep the ghosts away
But, now you haunt me in the worst fucking way
I’d do anything
You’re a crutch, you’re the only one
But, time is everything
We’ve got it all 'till we’ve all got none
It’s the game we like to play
A little love, a little hate
I’d take it all for you
You’re the ghost that got away
