I don't pick up the mail
|
I don't pick up the phone
|
I don't answer the door
|
I'd just as soon be alone
|
I don't keep this place up
|
I just keep the lights down
|
I don't live in these rooms
|
I just rattle around
|
|
I'm just a ghost in this house
|
I'm just a shadow upon these walls
|
As quietly as a mouse I haunt these halls
|
I'm just a whisper of smoke
|
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire
|
That once burned out of control
|
You took my body and soul
|
I'm just a ghost in this house
|
|
I don't care if it rains
|
I don't care if it's clear
|
I don't mind staying in
|
There's another ghost here
|
He sits down in your chair
|
And he shines with your light
|
And he lays down his head
|
On your pillow at night
|
|
I'm just a ghost in this house
|
I'm just a shadow upon these walls
|
I'm living proof of the damage
|
Heartbreak does
|
I'm just a whisper of smoke
|
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire
|
That once burned out of control
|
And took my body and soul
|
I'm just a ghost in this house
|
Oh, I'm just a ghost in this house
|
