[Verse 1]

If I told you I loved you

Would it open my eyes?

Would it pick at my mind?

Would it kill me at night?

If I told you I love you

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause baby, I know that you never really felt that way

Day by day

You turned to a shadow, put me in the shade

Nothing left to say

With restraints on me, oh

[Chorus]

Tell me if we're burning down

'Cause I keep seeing ashes all around me now

Can't sleep in a burning house

Chain me to the bed and you won't let me out

Packed bags, you're gone without a sound

Leaving me to feel the pain all by myself

Oh well, I could always tell

You're nothing but a ghost to me now

[Verse 2]

I could tell you I love you

But you wouldn't reply

Wouldn't look in my eyes

Wouldn't care when I cried

Why would I tell you I love you?

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause baby, I know that you never really felt that way

Day by day

You turned to a shadow, put me in the shade

Nothing left to say

With restraints on me, oh

[Chorus]

Tell me if we're burning down

'Cause I keep seeing ashes all around me now

Can't sleep in a burning house

Chain me to the bed and you won't let me out

Packed bags, you're gone without a sound

Leaving me to feel the pain all by myself

Oh well, I could always tell

You're nothing but a ghost to me now

[Outro]

But a ghost to me now

Hey, ghost to me now
