Letter by letter.



My Ghost.

Well this candle’s burning low
And these sheets are getting cold
I should’ve been asleep hours ago
But I’m scared to close my eyes
I’ll only realize I’m so alone

I’m living with a ghost
But he’s friendlier than most
And he holds me oh so close, my ghost
When I don’t wanna think about all the things I’ve done
And I don’t wanna measure out how far away I’ve run
And I don’t wanna feel the weight of all this wasted love 

My ghost, please
Wrap your lifeless arms around me
Don’t let me fall asleep

Now there’s ice on my eyelashes
And my breath it comes and dashes
Out of my lungs 
The bruising has begun  

My lips are turning blue blue
All because I’ve got the blues blues
Ever since I heard the news
The part about you

I’m living with a ghost
But he’s friendlier than most
And he holds me oh so close, my ghost
When I don’t wanna think about all the things I’ve done
And I don’t wanna measure out how far away I’ve run
And I don’t wanna feel the weight of all this wasted love 

My ghost, please
Hold me close as can be
You’re the only one who knows me 

Time is passing I suppose
I think I’m growing old
Can’t keep fighting off the cold
My heart already froze froze froze
