I used to carry all the world upon my shoulders
Just to bring it to your feet
But now there’s a ghost who rides the greenline every morning who looks a lot like me

It’s been years since you left home
Faded pictures on my walls are all that’s left
But you still haunt me

Now who’s to say what lies beneath
This flesh? Hollow bones & and aching heart?
The nest we built by hand, twig by twig
Just cracked and fell apart

Wove your words into my songs
Try to hide all the scars beneath the lines
And the lies that you told

Never understood your smile as you said,
“I miss you but I’m glad that you’re gone”

was it the way good-bye tasted on your lips?
