lyrics

I’m so sick of singing songs about you
But every single time that I do
I find nothing else
Feels as close to home

Your memory
Echoes in my mind
In this labyrinth
In this mess I find
Myself
Lying here in pieces

I’m so sick of singing songs about you
But each time
I try my hardest not to
Shed a tear or two

Like a whisper in a windstorm
Like a willow in the breeze
I’m stuck in love with a memory
Of what was
Or could’ve been

Now you’re gone and I’m still here
Like a phantom I watched you disappear
Now your ghost is all I see
Your shadow still here haunting me

And as I lie here on my own
Wishing you’d just pick up the telephone
Loneliness takes hold
Its chilling grip familiar

I’m so sick of singing songs about you
So I’ll scream

I’ll scream
I’ll scream
I’ll scream

I hate that I love you
I love that I hate it
I hate that I love you
I love that I hate it

I shan’t fall in love
Love shall fall into me
And it shall blossom
And it shall bloom
Beautiful
Like lotus on a warm spring morning
Or it shall brittle
And break
And bend away
Just like the ghosts of lovers past
