lyrics

Ghosts Like Lovers

I’m the one with half a heartbeat
From all the times they
They said they loved me
I’m the one with ghosts like lovers
Just to keep me warm now
Under the covers
I’ve been so cold

She’s the one that keeps me from freezing
She takes the life out, but keeps me breathing
I feel so old

Listen to the waves and the way they fall on me
Can you feel the waves
As my scars are washed off, like they didn’t mean a thing
You changed it all

So paint it all black, just like she told me
To keep the shadows from leaving
It’s so blinding
I’m overwhelmed
They don’t know you, Father’s so far
He can’t love all of your scars
I’m so wretched, empty-handed too

I’m swimming in your sea again
Will you wash me
Can you wash me clean
Can you love me
