I just don't want my heart to turn to stone So I let myself forget that you've been gone for a spell And well it's been quite some time You left when I was young I lay in my bed reciting songs you never sung And I only knew you as the phone that never rung And I told everyone I was loved by a ghost I told everyone I could feel you almost But you never called me and you never wanted to The way I wanted you I used to have your picture in my phone I'm used to making decisions on my own I don't want to It's not easy never having you here I miss you All the goodbyes, hellos, I love yous never here I guess I got used to only seeing you in the mirror And I told everyone I was loved by a ghost I told everyone I could feel you almost But you never called me and you never wanted to The way I wanted you So hard to believe, there's a perfect love That can conquer every fear It's never been easy It's like another one leaves me Every time I wipe my tears And it's so hard seeing your face in the mirror But I'll tell everyone that I'm loved by a ghost I'll tell everyone that I feel you almost 'Cause you've always called me and you always wanted to The way I wanted you and more Wanted you and more
