It’s been a while since I was new in town
Jaded and faded, yeah I’ve been around
They told me fame burns out just like everything else
All the stars in the sky, they are destined to die
And I can see my fate clearly in my mind’s eye
You only see what you want to
The ghost of a girl
Is all that’s left of who I used to be
I used to think that truth would always break free
But now the only thing breaking is me
The shadows of a cage echo in my mind
When all I wanted to do was run
Some things can follow you wherever you go but
I’m headed back where the bluebirds sing
Across the states and away from the fire
You only see what you want to
The ghost of a girl
Is all that’s left of who I used to be
I used to think that truth would always break free
But now the only thing breaking is me
My name is up in lights but I’m alone at midnight
I don’t see this going on much longer, thought that this was what I wanted
Something doesn’t feel quite right, here in this twilight
You only see what you want to
The ghost of a girl
Is all that’s left of who I used to be
I used to think the truth would set me free
But the whole time it’s been me holding the key
I look in the mirror and i know who i see
I hope you do too
