Elite

I walk through busy streets that somehow feel so empty
I sleep with story telling sheets, that won't stop whispering to me
I stop and stare at neon lights and remember neon love
When did I get so cold inside? and when will I feel at home

I shiver as I wonder if I'll ever love somebody like I loved you
I shiver as I wonder if I'll ever even want to after all that we've been through

All the hands I've held and all the hearts that I've felt beating
They kiss my lips and they hold me when I'm dreaming
And I can't forget the way it felt when they were here with me
And I can't forget the way it felt to watch them leaving

I keep my lovers in old piano's
They dance like ghosts as my fingers hit the keys
I visit them in the middle of the night
With a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine
And they dance, and they dance
As my tears drip onto my hands
And I ache, as I learn to be alone

My coffee burns my tongue and reminds me I'm still here
What a shame you can't run away from, your own mind and your own fear
Well I've given my heart and I've given my soul
I've given them both away
But what do you do when they're returned in the mail
Like ashes that went up in flames

I feel my stomach drop as I watch the sunset, there's nobody here to see it
I feel my stomach drop as I look in my own eyes, crocodile cryin' in the mirror

All the hands I've held and all the hearts that I've felt beating
They kiss my lips and they hold me when I'm dreaming
And I can't forget the way it felt when they were here with me
And I can't forget the way it felt to watch them leavin'

I keep my lovers in old piano's
They dance like ghosts as my fingers hit the keys
I visit them in the middle of the night
With a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine
And they dance, and they dance
As my tears drip onto my hands
And I ache as I learn to be alone

I shiver as I wonder if i'm really just a ghost, haunting my own room
I shiver as I wonder if they'll all remember me, long after I'm gone
