[Verse 1]
If I told you I loved you
Would it open my eyes?
Would it pick at my mind?
Would it kill me at night?
If I told you I love you
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause baby, I know that you never really felt that way
Day by day
You turned to a shadow, put me in the shade
Nothing left to say
With restraints on me, oh
[Chorus]
Tell me if we're burning down
'Cause I keep seeing ashes all around me now
Can't sleep in a burning house
Chain me to the bed and you won't let me out
Packed bags, you're gone without a sound
Leaving me to feel the pain all by myself
Oh well, I could always tell
You're nothing but a ghost to me now
[Verse 2]
I could tell you I love you
But you wouldn't reply
Wouldn't look in my eyes
Wouldn't care when I cried
Why would I tell you I love you?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause baby, I know that you never really felt that way
Day by day
You turned to a shadow, put me in the shade
Nothing left to say
With restraints on me, oh
[Chorus]
Tell me if we're burning down
'Cause I keep seeing ashes all around me now
Can't sleep in a burning house
Chain me to the bed and you won't let me out
Packed bags, you're gone without a sound
Leaving me to feel the pain all by myself
Oh well, I could always tell
You're nothing but a ghost to me now
[Outro]
But a ghost to me now
Hey, ghost to me now
