The Ghost of Who I Used to Be

I can't escape the ghost of who I used to be

Why can't I escape?

You stand there and plead

As you watch me bleed

So blind to my pain

While you beg me to stay

You promise that you'll change

Deep down, you'll always be the same

I can't escape the ghost of who I used to be

I can't erase the pain you left that's still in me

Why can't I escape?

Escape

Pain, lies, shattered dreams

Memories won't fade

Feign eyes deceive

Need you to fade away

You promise that you'll change

Deep down, you'll always be the same

Time has stripped away the lies

Revealing truth you can't disguise

I can't escape the ghost of who I used to be

I can't erase the pain you left that's still in me

Why can't I escape?

Escape

I can't escape the ghost of who I used to be

I can't erase the pain you left that's still in me

Why can't I escape?

You promise that you'll change

Why can't I escape?

Deep down, you'll always be the same

Why can't I escape?
