I'M You'Re Ghost
I'm biting
My tongue
Biting down
Bleeding
But you still
Won't have
Any of that
So I bite
Harder
That's what you
Want
Just like
That
Keep quite
And just
Be here
I'm binding
My feet
So small
I could never
Escape from
Your grasp
'Cause in your
Arms I must stay
That's what you
Want
Just like
That
Stay still
Until you come
Home
I'm beating
Myself down
I'm not even
Worth my own
Time of day
So I just break
Everything in
Me
That's what you
Want
Just like
That
Broken
You're the only
Thing that keeps
Me together
I'm packing
Myself up
Sending me off
Far away
From "love's" chains
Find a new place
And love me again
That's what you
Get
Just like
That
Gone
You're going
To have trouble
Sleeping again
