Intro: Am
Verse 1:
Sat up for hours
Thought of a lover
I'll probably never
Get the chance
to hold again
All of my days
spend waiting for
Nights with her
again again
And I'm sharing a
drink with a memory
And a laugh with
an empty seat
Do you still look the same?
Will you still
look at me the same?
Cause I know that I don't
I've gotten so old
in these last few years
And I'd rather be fighting with you
Than sleeping here, next to her
Chorus:
Don't let me fall, I'll break
What a mess I'd make
Pathetic --pieces-- on your floor
Will cut your feet forever more
You're porcelain, such fragile skin
Just let me hold you I'll be gentle
I won't drop you
This time I'll be careful
Verse 2:
Forget for just one second
That this is not alright
Let's drink to feeling nothing
At least just for tonight
Stay for one more
Pass out on the floor
like we used to do
It got so hot in your room
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
And I can't let it go
This phantom pain
I'm feeling
And the hurt won't
leave me alone
And I'm tired of
G C(hold)
sleeping with ghosts

Verse 3:
Fell asleep
with your ghost
Woke up with a
headache
From the cure that's
only temporary
And in the morning
always fails me
(Repeat chorus)
