I Only Ever Loved Your Ghost

Take these scars, have your fun Either way love gets a bullet for her gun Just like eclipses love the sun Left unexposed I only ever loved your ghost Gentle words, sad recluse Forceful hearts tied like a train to it's caboose Just like a hangman ties his noose Love juxtaposed I only ever loved your ghost Tried so hard, what remains? Keep my letters, keep my books, forget my names I'll keep your pictures in their frames You loved them most I only ever loved your ghost One more time, here we go I can't face the face I asked you not to show It's best for lovers not to know Than sadly boast It's always better loving ghosts Walking mile after mile Chasing romance, should've settled for a smile These dreams were just too big, so I'll propose a toast To ever only loving ghosts
