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 some is everything

We've got it all 'til we've all got none

It's a 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 some is everything

We've got it all 'til we've all got none

It's a 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 at bay

But now you haunt me in the worst fucking way

I'd do anything

You're a crutch, you're the only one

But some is everything

We've got it all 'til we've all got none

It's a 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're the ghost that got away
