You pinned my back against the wall

Made my ambitions seem so small

I thought that it would never end but you came back just to hurt again

You're throwing stones but you're made of glass

Lied to myself so I let it pass

I tried to walk right out your life but now I see you here tonight

And now I gave you everything

So tell me what you want

But you just fade away like all the roses that I bought

Guess you didn't mean anything

But what we said was true

When I look in your eyes, the person I see isn't you

I'm dancing with your ghost but I know that you'll leave me

You're see-through, I can't let you go

I swear I won't

I see nothing in your eyes

But we need each other most

But you're falling through my hands

'Cause I'm dancing with a ghost

As we move across the floor

I see the tears go down your face

I feel you press against my chest

The gentle touch and cold embrace

I wonder if we tried again

A different time or different place

Will we always end the same, where we just leave without a trace?

'Cause now I gave you everything

So tell me what you want

'Cause you just fade away like all the roses that I bought

Guess you didn't mean anything

So what we said was true

When I look in your eyes, the person I see isn't you

And now I'm dancing with your ghost but I know that you'll leave me

You're see-through, I can't let you go

I swear I won't

I see nothing in your eyes

But we need each other most

But you're falling through my hands

'Cause I'm dancing with a ghost

Now I'm dancing with the ghost

'Cause I lost my only friend

I know that you will have to go

But I don't want this night to end

Now I'm dancing with the ghost

While I wait for wounds to mend

I swear I see you standing there

But you're just inside my head

And now I'm dancing with your ghost but I know that you'll leave me

You're see-through, I can't let you go

I swear I won't

I see nothing in your eyes

But we need each other most

But you're falling through my hands

'Cause I'm dancing with your ghost
