you are who I mean when I say ghosts of my past
I loved you once and you loved me
and yet you shoved me aside
pushed me away
ran as I reached for you
I waited for years
searched for you
finally I let you go
and then I saw you again
you ignored me and I ignored you
it hurt
I was mad
mad at the world
mad at you
but you were but a ghost
so I ran
I ran far away
900 miles in fact
I ran to people who cared
I ran from people who cared
and I ran from the ghosts of my past
I finally let you go
by staying so far away
I nearly forgotten my feelings for you
but you are but a ghost
and ghosts show themselves in our pain
and when I was finally free
you found me again
I do not know where you are
or who you've become since we parted
but I would still risk the world for you
though now I hate myself for it
for you are but a ghost
but a ghost
but a ghost
