Ghost

Fell in love in high school

With a brown haired, green eyed girl

I walked her home most everyday

Held her hand, I held the world

We made our plan to run away

I couldn't wait to share her life

We started countin' down the days

She couldn't wait to be my wife

I got a job and bought a car

I turned eighteen that spring

By summer had my own place

And I bought my baby's ring

Fell in with the wrong crowd

Breakin' laws, I broke her heart

By autumn was in handcuffs

Baby's cryin' out in her front yard

And that's what hurt the most

I saw it in her green eyes

She had seen a ghost

My mama saw me every week

Tried her hardest not to cry

She told me that she loved me

Disappointment in her eyes

I said, "Mama, I love you too

And I'm gonna make you proud one day"

A month before I got out

They told me mama passed away

And that's what hurt the most

I saw it in her eyes, her son was a ghost

I hate this life I chose

Long before she died her son was a ghost

Now I got my freedom

But it feels like emptiness

In front of the apartment

Where your sister says you live

And there's another man, who fills my empty shoes

And darlin' you don't see me

But you know that I see you, I drift off

I'm gonna fade away

Beyond the city lights

I'm gonna fade away

Through the empty night

I'm gonna fade away

Drifting out your life

I wanna fade away

Through the empty night
