my entire mind is a ghost
of the girl I miss the most
a beautiful face
to match a beautiful mind

but along the journey down
that smile, well, became a frown
and a beautiful girl
lost her beautiful mind

the world became much too bright
and happiness just never felt right
and a beautiful girl
lost her beautiful life

your voice wakes me with a start
when I'm alone at four a.m.
and I know
it isn't right
near you my heart trembles
my lips cease to know language
and I know
this isn't right
you see you're too tempting
and I should not be at all
but you are
just so breathtaking
but the way your voice sinks into
my dreams and my thoughts
is just so
amazing

and your eyes, oh
that magnificent, blinding kindness
that teasing sparkle
cute little freckles
sweet shy smiling eyes

but as they say,
the grass is greener on the other side

if a drop overflows a cup,
it is because the glass is already full
if a look breaks a mirror
it is because the mirror is full of cracks
if love reaches a broken girl
it is because she is full of darkness

I see through cracked lenses
I am empty, no senses

there is no soul
behind these black eyes
I have but a cracked heart
and I'm scared the slightest
touch of another
could break the last thing
there is left of me
