the ghost of past regrets Lyrics

A long time ago in a place far from home

Is where I first got lost in the haze

A presence that I tried my best to deny

By burying truth under lies

Then three years ago I thought I'd seen a ghost

As our paths once again intertwined

When your eyes met with mine I felt chills down my spine

And the panic set in once again

Waiting for a moment that will never come

Spares me the pressure of knowing

Jumping to the ending when you've just begun

Gives me a clue where I'm heading now

My house must be haunted, I'm struck with a curse

Despite all my efforts I just make it worse

I push on the pull doors until the hinges break

Moments away from my worst mistake

Embers, sparks, ignite the flame

As I waste away

My image of you never quite matched the truth

So I'm sorry if I ever claimed

Oh that I had a clue why you do what you do

I won't repeat this mistake

Waiting for a moment that will never come

Spares me the pressure of knowing

Jumping to the ending when you've just begun

Gives me a clue where I'm heading

Six months ago I made peace with the ghost

Haunting my every mistake

Oh then I learned the truth that I don't have to choose

Between being strong and being myself
