Chasing a Ghost

And when you left this town

You had to change your name

You had to change your face

To hide away the pain

And you'll run from heart to heart

Until you come right back to the start

You said we weren't safe

And vanished without a trace

It's hard to chase a bird

When you don't have any wings

And you'll fly straight into a dawn

You'll come back once safely past your part

You say you're alone

But my arms are open wide

You're looking for something

That you won't ever find

Now it's raining so hard

I can't see my own tears

You're giving me reason

To put trust in my fears

Now I'm chasing a ghost

Cause there ain't no real thing

There's only a carcass left

Where our love used to stay

I'm beginning to think

That it's better that way

And one day you'll return

You're swoopin' as a dove

And maybe then you'll ask

What happened to our love?
