Ghosts lyrics

He walked down a busy street

Staring solely at his feet

Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side

Stood at the table where she sat

And removed his hat

In respect of her presence

Presents her with the pictures and says

These are just ghosts that broke

My heart before I met you

These are just ghosts that broke

My heart before I met you

Opened up his little heart

Unlocked the lock that kept it dark

And read a written warning

Saying Im still mourning

Over ghosts, over ghosts

Over ghosts, over ghosts that broke

My heart before I met you

Lover, please do not fall to your knees its not

Like I believe in everlasting love

He went crazy at nineteen

Said hed lost all his self esteem

And couldnt understand why he was crying

Cry, crying, crying

He would stare at empty chairs

Think of the ghosts that once sat there

The ghosts who broke his heart

All the ghosts that broke my heart

The ghosts that broke his heart

All the ghosts that broke my heart

The ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts

The ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts

The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you

Lover, please do not fall to your knees

Its not like I believe in everlasting love

He says Im so lost, not at all well

Do as though there is nothing left to be

Well, it turned out Id been following him

And hed been following me

Do as though after it was over

We were just two lovers crying

On each other's shoulders

And I said, lover please do not fall to your knees

Its not like I believe in everlasting love

Lover, please do not fall to your knees

Its not like I believe in everlasting love
