Once I asked you to fill an empty s***e
To live inside the shadow of the life I had to face
And though you took me, and made me feel alive
I wonder just how much of me that you have helped to die
Just like a burn will linger, she crept between my fingers
And to my body she has now become a new disease
A fog to cloud my vision, more like an apparition
She made a mess and now abandoned me
So I thought I'd burn the bridge you made for me
But when I did, all our love was left behind
Now what we've got to show is a memory
And just like ghosts, it will keep me up at night
Well I had a revelation, cause I found a new location
A place inside your heart you thought that I would never see
Without a hint, or notion, you wrought without emotion
A brand new world for you to toy with me
And now I know that you are waiting somewhere
Watching me, to see what I will do
So I will go, no, I won't stay to bother you
The one thing that I counted on that I believed was true
To live inside the shadow of the life I had to face
And though you took me, and made me feel alive
I wonder just how much of me that you have helped to die
Just like a burn will linger, she crept between my fingers
And to my body she has now become a new disease
A fog to cloud my vision, more like an apparition
She made a mess and now abandoned me
So I thought I'd burn the bridge you made for me
But when I did, all our love was left behind
Now what we've got to show is a memory
And just like ghosts, it will keep me up at night
Well I had a revelation, cause I found a new location
A place inside your heart you thought that I would never see
Without a hint, or notion, you wrought without emotion
A brand new world for you to toy with me
And now I know that you are waiting somewhere
Watching me, to see what I will do
So I will go, no, I won't stay to bother you
The one thing that I counted on that I believed was true
