Once I asked you to fill an empty space 
To live inside the shadow of the life I had to face 
And though you took me, and made me feel alive 
I wonder just how much of me that you have helped to die 

Just like a burn will linger, she crept between my fingers 
And to my body she has now become a new disease 
A fog to cloud my vision, more like an apparition 
She made a mess and now abandoned me 

So I thought I'd burn the bridge you made for me 
But when I did, all our love was left behind 
Now what we've got to show is a memory 
And just like ghosts, it will keep me up at night 

Well I had a revelation, cause I found a new location 
A place inside your heart you thought that I would never see 
Without a hint, or notion, you wrought without emotion 
A brand new world for you to toy with me 

And now I know that you are waiting somewhere 
Watching me, to see what I will do 
So I will go, no, I won't stay to bother you 
The one thing that I counted on that I believed was true
