Asleep, I saw us back in practice
Sharing glances across crowded rooms
Of letting one another know
That I'm here for you, should you need me
And then I woke with sudden skin around the eyes
Never been in so much pain as to realizeThat I left you
Then you left me
And though you never knew
The daylight has never felt more cruel
You told me in a dream
You were tired of pretending
And I agreed
Though I'm still here way past the ending
Of how you wept down the phone
Like I did in the morning
How I had told you no
Been cold and firmBack when you needed me
A sick thing to be
So hard on who you love
It's all I deserveYour memory can be good
But it can be unkind
May have you cut down in the middle of the night
Suffocates me as I sleep
Your words return
Though it's a face I knew
It's just a ghost I'm talking to
It grips my chest and pulls me up
Deep in those familiar arms
You turn your head and gently ask"Who is it that's haunting you?"
