I act sometimes like I can hold my breath
But it don't stop me from sinking
I close my eyes like I got nothing left
But it don't stop me from thinking about
Your face, and all those secrets
I let my heart try to find some rest
But it all still seems so heavy
You ghost like magic, you left without a trace
You act so reckless, in my holy place
You run away, I'm stuck with you
I'm still stuck with you
I'm not that strong, but I can carry on
I just get caught up in the fire
I know you were gone, and I hope you're well
But you left me hanging on a wire without
Your face, and all those secrets
I still chase this song, like I'm caught in a spell
But it all still seems so heavy
You ghost like magic, you left without a trace
You act so reckless, in my holy place
You run away, I'm stuck with you
I'm so stuck with you
I'm still stuck with you
Cold shadows, memories I can't erase
You act so reckless, in my holy place
You run away, I'm stuck with you
I'm so stuck with you
I'm still stuck with you
Like a bad tattoo
Still stuck with you
Like a bad tattoo
You ghost like magic, you left without a trace
You act so reckless, in my holy place
You run away, I'm stuck with you
So stuck with you
I'm still stuck with you
Cold shadows, memories I can't erase
You act so reckless, in my holy place
You run away, I'm stuck with you
I'm so stuck with you
I'm still stuck with you
So stuck with you
I'm still stuck with you
