Lyrics
I still remember how it all began
Saw your face across the table and was never again the same
The feeling grew and grew, I fell so hard and fast and true
One touch was worth a lifetime of pain
But then the hands of something cruel pulled us apart
And shot a bullet full of sorrow that lodged into my heart
So I will wander the earth for you
I will bleed you onto everyone I see
I will beg, I will burn, I'll be the ghost of your return
Until the day you come back to me
These days I stagger clutching my chest
Every broken beat getting weaker by the day
No good to anyone else and I guess it's just as well
As I lay here in your memory's shallow grave
I've stabbed myself a thousand times
I drink bottles and bottles of poison, but I never seem to die
So I will wander the earth for you
I will bleed you onto everyone I see
I will beg, I will burn, I'll be the ghost of your return
Until the day you come back to me
It's been so long without the warmth you bring
And I'll never heal until I feel it once again, I gotta feel it once again
So I will wander the earth for you
I will bleed you onto everyone I see
I will beg, I will burn, I'll be the ghost of your return
Until the day you come back to me
Until the day you come back to me
