A long time ago in a place far from home
Is where I first got lost in the haze
A presence that I tried my best to deny
By burying truth under lies
Then three years ago I thought I'd seen a ghost
As our paths once again intertwined
When your eyes met with mine I felt chills down my spine
And the panic set in once again
Waiting for a moment that will never come
Spares me the pressure of knowing
Jumping to the ending when you've just begun
Gives me a clue where I'm heading now
My house must be haunted, I'm struck with a curse
Despite all my efforts I just make it worse
I push on the pull doors until the hinges break
Moments away from my worst mistake
Embers, sparks, ignite the flame
As I waste away
My image of you never quite matched the truth
So I'm sorry if I ever claimed... oh that I had a clue
Why you do what you do. I won't repeat this mistake
Waiting for a moment that will never come
Spares me the pressure of knowing
Jumping to the ending when you've just begun
Gives me a clue where I'm heading
Six months ago I made peace with the ghost
Haunting my every mistake
Oh then I learned the truth that I don't have to choose
Between being strong and being myself
