Roses 103: Ghost

I just don't want my heart to turn to stone
So I let myself forget that you've been gone for a spell
And well it's been quite some time
You left when I was young
I lay in my bed reciting songs you never sung
And I only knew you as the phone that never rung

And I told everyone I was loved by a ghost
I told everyone I could feel you almost
But you never called me and you never wanted to
The way I wanted you

I used to have your picture in my phone
I'm used to making decisions on my own
I don't want to
It's not easy never having you here
I miss you
All the goodbyes, hellos, I love yous never here
I guess I got used to only seeing you in the mirror

And I told everyone I was loved by a ghost
I told everyone I could feel you almost
But you never called me and you never wanted to
The way I wanted you

So hard to believe, there's a perfect love
That can conquer every fear
It's never been easy
It's like another one leaves me
Every time I wipe my tears
And it's so hard seeing your face in the mirror

But I'll tell everyone that I'm loved by a ghost
I'll tell everyone that I feel you almost
'Cause you've always called me and you always wanted to
The way I wanted you and more
Wanted you and more
