This song is about a man who was in a relationship with Alexandra, but didn’t love or do anything for her at all, so once they break up, she feels as she had been in love with a phantom (an imaginary or non-existent thing) all along.
[Verse 1]
Fell in love as a lone disciple
His altar at the root of my fate
Fell in love on a lonely night
Could predict every word he'd never convey
[Chorus]
What did you say?
A promise broke, an empty room
How could you do this to me?
I fell in love alone
[Verse 2]
All alone at his golden temple
A dusting of crumb falls at his feet
From the time when my greedy mantle
I've come here to take my crackerjack tree
[Chorus]
What did you say?
A promise broke, an empty room
How could you do this to me?
I fell in love alone
[Bridge]
I feel a phantom pain
I feel a phantom break
[Chorus]
What did you say?
A promise broke, an empty room
How could you do this to me?
I fell in love alone
