Phantom

The only place we'd ever met

was deep inside a dream.

So maybe it was fantasy

That kept me on my knees;

Praying, searching, wanting more

of you for me to feel

 

You hurt me once, and I can heal

Twice, and I give up

Three times ends the time of hurt

Mistakes can prove too much

 

And away you walked, so easily

Like I was never even here.

The times you left me lonely,

Were the times I longed to hold you near.

 

And knowing now, you aren't strong

I'd love to see your tears.

 

I'd love to get inside your empty head;

Erase the wasted years.

 

They say our lovers teach us

That we can learn from those mistakes

The only thing you ever taught

Is what its like to be replaced

 

But honey, you won't keep me low

It was only just a dream;

A figment of reality.

You were never what you seemed.
