[Verse 3]
Ghost in the mirror

And I can't feel my body now
I separate from here and now
[Break]

Everything is never-ending
I slipped into a parallel
They'll never understand
This feeling always gets away
Wishing I could hold on longer
Why does it have to feel so strange
To be in love again, be in love again, be in love again?
