Like a Sad and Lonely Ghost

All those memories you haunt seem to make you hurt the most yet you linger in the past like a sad and lonely ghost There is an eerie silence in your melancholy mood You've retreated to the darkness from the dreams you once pursued Many prizes never claimed many treasures never found for you thought yourself unworthy of the love that was around If you'd only take a chance just one step beyond your fear to the symphonies of sadness you might turn a deafened ear Oh, the battles never fought Oh, the victories never won From the challenges of life often times you chose to run So you stay inside your mind in a prison built to last like a sad and lonely ghost with the relics of the past
