Phantom

It stopped making sense a long time ago
We were friends, alive in the glow
Of the light that shined from what I thought was heaven

You looked in my eyes, said "that's where we're going"
And I've got so much to show you
But I can't wait at the doorway forever

I swear I've tried to retreat from all this
But your voice keeps following me, like a phantom
With thousands of questions, no answers
Yeah, yeah
Drank away your memories, regardless
You're still in all of my dreams, can't escape it
Wake up and my heart is vacant

It doesn't exist
But you say you know where it is
Right under our noses
A light that stays on if your heart is open

I looked in the sky
And wished for a picturesque night
In which to hold you but I
Found out that light had been broken

I swear I've tried to retreat from all this
But your voice keeps following me, like a phantom
With thousands of questions, no answers
Drank away your memories, regardless
You're still in all of my dreams, can't escape it
Wake up and my heart is vacant

You were a star glowing ever so bright
And now your outline is burned in my mind
All of the time
Soft brush of your hair, your scent in the air
But you aren't there

I swear I've tried to retreat from all this
But your voice keeps following me, like a phantom
With thousands of questions, no answers
Drank away your memories, regardless
You're still in all of my dreams, can't escape it
Wake up and my heart is vacant
