Darling, ghosts that have haunted you
now seem to swim in my dreams
And I see them surrounding me
Choking me in my sleep

Like cigarettes, I breathe them in and then
breathe out but some of them cling to my lungs
And with every breath a few more live inside my chest

Oh my love, why do you keep me a distant shadow
Oh my love, tried to give you all that you wanted

Darling, god please don’t call me that
I’ve been trying to figure you out
And I know that I
Don’t owe you not a moment of my time

Like cigarettes, every new breath of you
Leads me, a tiny step closer to death
And I need some air
Don’t give me your tears there’s nothin there

Oh my love [I’m not your love] why do you keep me a distant shadow
Oh my love [I’m not your love] tried to give you all that you wanted
