You were once a strange addiction Hit and run much greater than fiction Thought I buried you Beyond matter, beyond time I believe that you are mine How many times before Have you walked through my door Just to leave me, just to leave me Once more? The ghost that feeds on your heart has won I must stop loving you That thief has taken your soul to run I must stop loving you This lifetime Was it Daddy's cruel distracted shadow Or Mama's quiet remorse Lead you on this bramble path you follow Made you bet On the wrong horse? The ghost that feeds on your heart has won Can I stop loving you? That thief has stolen your soul and run I must stop loving you Yes, here we are It's a force we can't conceal A magnet star Being pulled by Fortune's wheel You set a match, my house burned down Inside your arms, I gladly drown I was alive again You were my oxygen The ghost that feeds on your heart has won I must stop loving you That thief has stolen your soul and run Can I stop loving you? I must stop loving you If it's the last thing that I do at this time Can I stop loving you? I can't stop loving you I must stop loving you Maybe next time we'll get it right
