I thought I was brave enough to battle your ghost
the fever of a first love which poets wrote
deeply penetrates both soul and mind
leaving nothing but a prisoner behind
but never did I see, you'd turn away from
making it so hard to hold on


it's in the way you leave me stranded
I feel like I've lost control
it's in the way you seem so distant
I feel like I've lost a friend
it's in the way you live for her each day
it's sin the way you live for her each day
and not for me


I thought I was strong enough to battle it off
the lure of what's lost, what still haunts
an intuition of some suspicion, what's locked inside
a secret mystery, it mesmerizes me
I know, I feel, she's calling me

[chorus]

hold on, hold on... and not for me

[chorus]

bittersweet I tried to reach you
memories of her voice won't leave you
love devoid-a ghost that's haunting me
