The Ghost

Every time I hear you breathe selfish
I don't want to fall in again
Every time I seem to look back
I revert to times I wish that hadn't been

Every ounce and piece of respect I gave you spat out
You sent me in a violent spin but here I am
You say, "Get away, I can't stand the site of you any day"
I taste your bitter embrace, suffocate in total disgrace

Just when I really thought the worst
Was finally over and then
Somehow a kick to the head made me realize
I'm just a ghost again

It's only years of grief and spite
It's so damn clear, it's not alright

I gave my goodbyes today
Because I've really learnt to walk away
Satisfaction, I've rolled into a tidy little drug affair
Abbreviate my jealous fits 'cause I don't care

You send me in a violent spin but here I am
Why did you turn around on me?
I really haven't got a clue I thought I kinda knew
You better than you make me wanna do

I've seen the bottom, now I face the top
And you're the back of me
You make me sick, you make me volatile
It's all you're gonna be
