Ghost of A Thousand Words

Smile cause you know it’s true
You could have been perfect
You weren’t alone, I knew it too
I swear it would’ve been worth it

You could have had it all
Could’ve stood so tall
The world was your’s for the taking
Instead you’re left locked up and shaking

I can’t believe you thought they cared
Don’t believe you didn’t see this coming
They left you all alone, cold and scared
And as your life faded to black, they kept on running

Looking round I know you saw all that happened
And you realised the mistake you made
When you left them to ruin your life
And I know now you couldn’t have been saved

That was the path you chose for yourself
You decided to leave your memories on the shelf
Turned upside down for no one else to see
And I know letting go is the key

But is still can’t believe you thought they cared
Don’t believe you didn’t see this coming
They left you all alone, cold and scarred
And as your life faded to black, they kept on running

As the drugs ran through your body
And you became slow and slothy
You knew it was the end
Knew we’d never understand

But that doesn’t mean I won’t try
Doesn’t mean I’ll never cry
For all I didn’t do
For a friendship I didn’t think was true

And everytime I think about it
I can’t believe you thought they cared
Don’t believe you didn’t see it coming
They left you all alone, cold and scarred
And as your life faded to black, all they did was keep on running
