Ghost

You tried so hard to love me
all I did was make you tired
You wanted someone to perform with
I just wanted to be admired
and I was that for a while

You gave up all you had to give me
gotten used to sad surprise
So I knew you saw it coming
when I couldn't look you in the eye
What was the last thing that you said
as you picked up your coat and left

I heard you say oh wel, well-l-l-l-l-l
oh wel, well-l-l-l-l-l
Some bonds are made to break
and ships to sail
Don't curse that line of love that made you fail (no, no)

You were so high above me
that I could never love you then
So we got used to all the silence
'til the years came and they went
All good and bad things fade with time
I hope your heart grew back like mine
But if not

oh wel, well-l-l-l-l-l
oh wel, well-l-l-l-l-l
Some bonds are made to break
and ships to sail
Don't curse that line of love that made us fail (no, no)

And now I lose myself in daydreams
that never feel like my own
The past it keeps me like a prisoner
tied to a cold, nostalgic stone
And I cry out for something new
These days it's all I ever do
but it never seems to come
I'll be a ghost until I'm done
and they say

oh wel, well-l-l-l-l-l
oh wel, well-l-l-l-l-l
Some bonds are made to break
and ships to sail
I won't curse that line of love that made me fail (no, no)

Oh well, no no
Oh well, no no
Oh well, no, no
Oh well
