Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He walked down a busy street
Staring solely at his feet
Clutching picture of past lovers
At his side
Stood at the table
Where she sat
And removed his hat
In respect of her presence
[Verse 2]
Presents her with the pictures
And says
These are just ghosts
That broke my heart before I met you
These are just ghosts
That broke my heart before I met you
[Verse 3]
Opened up his little heart
Unlocked the lock that kept it dark
He read a written warning
Saying I'm still mourning
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
That broke my heart before I met you
[Verse 4]
Lover please do not
Fall to your knees
It's not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
[Verse 5]
He went crazy at nineteen
Said he'd lost all his self esteem
And couldn't understand why
He was cry, cry, crying
Crying
[Verse 6]
He would stare at empty chairs
Think of the ghosts that once sat there
The ghosts that broke his heart
Oh the ghost that broke my heart
The ghosts that broke his heart
Oh the ghost that broke my heart
[Verse 7]
The ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts
The ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts
That broke my heart before I met you
[Verse 8]
Lover please do not
Fall to your knees
It's not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
[Verse 9]
He says, I'm so lost
Not at all well
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 10]
He was done and
There was nothing left to be
Well turned out I'd been following him
And he'd been following me
It was done
After it was over
We were just two lovers
Crying on each others shoulder
And I said
[Verse 11]
Lover please do not
Fall to your knees
It's not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
[Verse 12]
Lover please do not
Fall to your knees
It's not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love
