You're like a phantom lover, yeah, like some kind of ghost
I reach for you but there's nothing there
making me wonder if you ever really loved me
yeah, yeah, if you even cared
as I have undressed my soul in front of you
and, I have laid it bare
leaving me with sweet sadness when you're not there
Yeah, yeah --
You're like the flicker in a candle dancing in the night
you're gone as soon as my bedroom window shows some light
there must be something about me
that brings out your greatest fears
It must be like this/something I've known since our first kiss --
You've wrapped your heart up in stone --
your heart has been frozen in ice for so long
Yeah, you've kept it safe/Yeah, but it's kept you all alone --

You don't know what to do with a girl like me
I keep it real/I speak the truth
I'm not here to tell you how to be
but I need more than this you see..

I hope someday you can set your heart free
that you can be loved the way you want to be
Oh, how I wish/how I wish
Yeah, that you would have let it be me.
