Pale Imitation Lyrics

And I will leave a light on
As long as there's hope
A solitary candle
But in the meanwhile
I'm sitting at this table
So utterly empty at her side.
I keep you like a secret and I smile
But it's not quite true
And it's not quite you.
Pale imitation
All the finest words could buy
For I
As lost as I am.
Imitation of the one I left behind
The one, the one I left behind.
As long as there's a hope left

If there's anybody home
There's dead leaves in the driveway
Is there anybody?
Tonight is so familiar
As long as I don't look too close.
For the la- last time
I find myself a wasted summer rose
And I chase the ghost
That I miss the most.
Pale imitation
All the finest words could buy
For I
As lost as I am.
Imitation of the one I left behind
The one, the one I left behind.
Pale... Imitation...
The one I left behind
Imitation
All the finest words could buy
For I
As lost as I am.
Imitation of the one I left behind
The one, the one I left behind.
