Ghost
With family, my heart overflows
There with you, you want to go home
Home, home
Bring me back to that place
That place that was full of love
Laughter and faith
Family time, a beautiful thing
But all I hear from you now is
When your phone rings
Everyone wants your attention
They're begging help me please
But what you don't realize
Is I've been on my knees, everyday
In this house, in this space
Wishing that you would just look me in my face
Look into the eyes that miss you most
See the person who wants to hold you close
The one who trusts you with her heart
But she's falling apart while you're creating your art
She's a masterpiece stitched together
Take a look and you might remember
But without your affection she's starting to weather
Open your eyes
She's starting to hurt and turn bitter
All she needs is a hug or a kiss
To not feel like her love is a burden to dismiss
And she needs a little of your time
That seems so scattered yet all she wants
Is just one moment
To look at you and
Not feel so left behind
Living in 29'
But couldn't feel further apart
She doesn't know what to say
She doesn't know how to
Get you to show
You still love her now
Bloody knees
Universe take me please
Back to that place, of feeling like I'm at home
My soul, take him back to me so I can feel
Like I'm not fighting this battle alone
He's distracted and times flying by
He's missing so much, most nights I cry
And hide it, to cover up for him and the kids
I sweep my feelings under the rug once again
I want him to wake up, he needs to be shown that
Me and the kids can't feel that love
When the lights are on
But nobody's home
Take me back to that place
When our house felt like home
Ghost
Where are my green eyes?
The one's that left me mesmerized
The man in front of me
I don't recognize
Take me back, take me back
I'm living in memories
That are fading fast, into black
Home, home
Where I long to feel loved
You can't see me, you can't see!
I'm in reality
All that you've become..
Is all that I've lost
I'm pitifully retracing thoughts
You are my soulmate
I loved you the most
Now all I see
Looking past me, not actually listening
Is a ghost
Of who you were
And what we had
I'd give anything
Take me back...
