I feel disqualified from luck All my life has come unstuck Since you left me out on my own
And still, with the anguish intact I’d have the strength to react If your ghost would only leave me alone
But every time I close my eyes I see you coming back to me But is it really what I want? ‘cause when our silhouettes appear The battlefields draw near
Home, no one’s there, no questions asked The safest ground to go unmasked If only you’d allow me
But hey, you’re just a phantom in my soul Walks my mind to gain control Of the devastated man I’ve come to be
And every time I close my eyes I see you coming back to me But is it really what I want? ‘cause when your silhouette is gone The agony goes on
Grander than our master-plan The bonded souls we were But chemistry ceased to be And nothing seems to matter no more
I’ll search and find another me Purified of nagging history A supplication and a dream ‘cause I’m a million miles from rain That can wash away this pain
Every time I close my eyes I see you coming back to me But is it really what I want Once your silhouette is gone?
There’s a thought that keeps recurring Underneath these scars And though it’s fatal It may take me close to where you are
Every time I close my eyes I see you coming back to me But is it really what I want ‘cause the agony goes on
So next time I close my eyes I’ll rest my case ‘cause I can’t go on It won’t be long!
