Memories Are Ghosts
You spilled my sanity on a dirty floor, you threw my trust away
I hid my tears in the ocean beneath my flesh that kept you at bay
Why bother leaving you behind when I’d already lost my mind
I was too damn lost for even faith to try and find
But then you’d get so personal with me
Touching me and making love to me
Reaching and clinging and feeling for an intimacy
But I never trusted the hands on me that haunt my memories
You wanted to be close to me, but we were never truly close
You’re just a memory now, baby
And my memories are ghosts
Your words cut me so deeply I was bleeding my bone marrow
And then you’d laugh hysterically at me while I was crying and hysterical
I used to pray and then fall so hard begging you to rescue me
You yourself were the reason I needed a hero,
You were just too deeply under my skin; I was too blind to see
But then you’d get so personal with me
Touching me and making love to me
Reaching and clinging and feeling for an intimacy
But I never trusted the hands on me that haunt my memories
You wanted to be close to me, but we were never truly close
You’re just a memory now, baby
And my memories are ghosts
You held me tight and stroked my hair as you screamed
Everything wrong in your life you somehow pinned the blame on me
Boy, did you not know I would have laid down in traffic just to see you smile?
And I never really knew that you’d gone as far as you could go
so I just kept on loving you and waiting all the while
But then you’d get so personal with me
Touching me and making love to me
Reaching and clinging and feeling for an intimacy
But I never trusted the hands on me that haunt my memories
You wanted to be close to me, but we were never truly close
You’re just a memory now, baby
And my memories are ghosts
