Dancing with a ghost

You pinned my back against the wall
Made my ambitions seem so small
I thought that it would never end
But you came back just to hurt again

You're throwing stones but you're made of glass
Lied to myself so I let it pass
I tried to walk right out your life
But now I see you here tonight

And now I gave you everything
So tell me what you want
But you just fade away like all the roses that I bought
Guess you didn't mean anything
But what we said was true
When I look in your eyes the person I see isn't you

I'm dancing with your ghost but I know that you'll leave me
Your see-through, I can't let you go
I swear I won't
I see nothing in your eyes
But we need each other most
But you're falling through my hands
Cause I'm dancing with a ghost

As we move across the floor
I see the tears go down your face
I feel you press against my chest
The gentle touch and cold embrace
I wonder if we tried again
A different time or different place
Will we always end the same
Where we just leave without a trace

Cause now I gave you everything
So tell me what you want
Cause you just fade away like all the roses that I bought
Guess you didn't mean anything
So what we said was true
When I look in your eyes the person I see isn't you

I'm dancing with your ghost but I know that you'll leave me
Your see-through, I can't let you go
I swear I won't
I see nothing in your eyes
But we need each other most
But you're falling through my hands
Cause I'm dancing with a ghost

Now I'm dancing with the ghost
Cause I lost my only friend
I know that you will have to go
But I don't want this night to end
Now I'm dancing with the ghost
While I wait for wounds to mend
I swear I see you standing there
But you're just inside my head

I'm dancing with your ghost but I know that you'll leave me
Your see-through, I can't let you go
I swear I won't
I see nothing in your eyes
But we need each other most
But you're falling through my hands
Cause I'm dancing with a ghost
