So you think you know who I am
Well inside, lives a dying man
I'm weary from obsessions I cannot obtain
So you try to reach inside
But I beg you to refrain
Please refrain
CHORUS
And baby, don't get too close
To love, I'm a ghost
And love is the ghost of me
And baby, don't get too close
To love, I'm a ghost
And love is the ghost of me
Broken down on the side of the road
On a one way street
In the middle of your soul
I'm sorry, I just can't help it
I cannot explain
Well the hall light's still out
And that's never going to change
The pain still remains
CHORUS
Are you tired of trying
To turn the light on
Are you tired of wanting to leave me alone in the dark again
I'm tired of wasting precious time feeling sorry for myself
I'm trying it takes a little time to get readjusted
Well inside, lives a dying man
I'm weary from obsessions I cannot obtain
So you try to reach inside
But I beg you to refrain
Please refrain
CHORUS
And baby, don't get too close
To love, I'm a ghost
And love is the ghost of me
And baby, don't get too close
To love, I'm a ghost
And love is the ghost of me
Broken down on the side of the road
On a one way street
In the middle of your soul
I'm sorry, I just can't help it
I cannot explain
Well the hall light's still out
And that's never going to change
The pain still remains
CHORUS
Are you tired of trying
To turn the light on
Are you tired of wanting to leave me alone in the dark again
I'm tired of wasting precious time feeling sorry for myself
I'm trying it takes a little time to get readjusted
