Ghost Requiem

You were once a strange addiction
Hit and run much greater than fiction
Thought I buried you

Beyond matter, beyond time
I believe that you are mine
How many times before
Have you walked through my door
Just to leave me, just to leave me
Once more?

The ghost that feeds on your heart has won
I must stop loving you
That thief has taken your soul to run
I must stop loving you

This lifetime

Was it Daddy's cruel distracted shadow
Or Mama's quiet remorse
Lead you on this bramble path you follow
Made you bet
On the wrong horse?

The ghost that feeds on your heart has won
Can I stop loving you?
That thief has stolen your soul and run
I must stop loving you

Yes, here we are
It's a force we can't conceal
A magnet star
Being pulled by Fortune's wheel

You set a match, my house burned down
Inside your arms, I gladly drown
I was alive again
You were my oxygen

The ghost that feeds on your heart has won
I must stop loving you
That thief has stolen your soul and run
Can I stop loving you?

I must stop loving you
If it's the last thing that I do at this time
Can I stop loving you?
I can't stop loving you
I must stop loving you

Maybe next time we'll get it right
