[Verse 1]
I've got your hair
Tangled up between my fingers
But are you there?
It's the memory that lingers
The best of you
Passed away a life ago
And left me to
Act as if if I didn't know

[Pre-Chorus]
The trouble is I do

[Chorus]
You're a shadow of a girl I chose
And I think what hurts the most
Is the feeling when I hold you close
All I'm holding is a ghost
All you are is just a ghost
All you are is just a ghost

[Verse 2]
You smile at me
With a sweetness almost illing
But I believe
If I could I'm more than willing
I'm missing you
And pretending still you're there
You forced me to
Act as if I never cared

[Pre-Chorus]
The trouble is I do

[Chorus]
You're a shadow of a girl I chose
And I think what hurts the most
Is the feeling when I hold you close
All I'm holding is a ghost
All you are is just a ghost
All you are is just a ghost

[Bridge]
You're in her clothes
You're in her sheets
And lacking what
Was underneath, oh
Illusion baby it's not enough (Illusion is not enough)
I need reality to love (To love)

[Chorus]
You're a shadow of a girl I chose
And I think what hurts the most
Is the feeling when I hold you close
All I'm holding is a ghost
You're a shadow of the girl I chose (Of the girl I chose)
And I think what hurts the most
Is the feeling when I hold you close (When I hold you close)
All I'm holding is a ghost
All you are is just a ghost
All you are is just a ghost
