Bothering Me

You've come alive in my dreams

Now we are not talking

The silence was deafening

In sleep I find peace

'Cause I never dreamed you would run

The hurt that my words awakened

The shadow of myself I'd become

Can't forgive what I've done

'Cause I think of you every turn

Oh, how it burns, how it burns!

Like a ghost and I see you everywhere

But it's the words that ring so loud that I can't bear:

"I wish we never met!"

Now I do not like what I see

A life not aligned with my dreams

And I'm not who I thought I would be

And it's bothering me

Seems everywhere that I turn

Another door closes so firm

Is this the fate I deserve?

And is it following me?

'Cause I think of you every turn

Oh, how it burns, how it burns!

Like a ghost and I see you everywhere

But it's the words that ring so loud that I can't bear:

"I wish we never met!"

'Cause it took the end of the world

To end us, the poetry's absurd

I know your packed bags were so well rehearsed

For your saviour's return

Oh, Godspeed my stranger, my love

The Holy Spirit came like a dove

Now she leaves me, my senses are numbed

And the devil has won
