The Ghost of what I've Lost

Don’t get too close
Where I can’t escape
Don’t try to see the real me
Through the lies I make up

Don’t you even dare
Being good, being right
Acting like you care
When all I do is fight

Fight anything
I would be scared to lose
Fight any feeling
That would make me a fool

Don’t break the wall
Don’t let my heart escape
You know I did it all
To keep it safe

Don’t you even try
To make me fly so high
Cause when I come to fall
I crash and burn so bad

Don’t you dare loving me
For who I really am
It’s terrifying me
That you could change your mind
And I would lose mine

I can’t be left to face
The ghost of what I’ve lost

So I’ll kill the butterflies
Ban this look in your eyes
It makes me feel so alive
It’s bound to never last

The pounding in my heart
My skin, electrified
I’ll ignore all the signs
And leave them there to die

Don’t you be the One
Don’t you be the One
I don’t think I can face
The ghost of what I could have had
