And I can almost feel it
But I can only reach so far
I’m screaming but no one can hear me, I’m already gone
Well, I wish that were enough

And in this place we’re far from where we started on
It hurts to recognize the cost of where we’ve gone
My hands and feet are bound, and my fingers going numb, now
I can’t see the path that I’m walking on
I took a look around, I saw a firestorm
The night we met I saw you with another one, now

As we tiptoed down the path to the road
Another one walked in your footsteps, exposed
I never told you, no, I kept this one close
And you never knew you were embracing a ghost

That night was full of fear, and it had taken hold
I looked you in your eyes, afraid that mine were cold
I told you that I loved you, God, you didn’t know, now
That we were dead to rights, we were so far from home
I saw the scars I left, they had begun to show
The mask I wore was sliding, sliding off the bone, now

As we tiptoed down the path to the road
Another one walked in your footsteps, exposed
I never told you, no, I kept this one close
And you never knew you were embracing...

As we tiptoed down the path to the road
Your colors washed out, broken heart, broken bones
I should’ve told you, but I kept this one close
So you never knew you were embracing a ghost
