Once I asked you to fill an empty space 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 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 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 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 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
