Down by the lake at nightYou touched my hand and said
We're gonna make this last
Three words you said aloud
Now seven years have passed
You've long gone away
That night you left me breathless
I never got it back
Every time I try to love again
I can't escape the ghost of you
I think back to the words you said
The ones that took my breath away
Every time I see your face again
I can't help but turn away
Another day
Another heart to heal
He took you by the hand
It's been seven years' time
Since your wedding day
The day he won your heart
Threw mine into the earth
Won't do much good to say
The words that meant so much
To you in days gone by
Why can't I let you go?
Every time I try to love again
I can't escape the ghost of you
I think back to the words you said
The ones that took my breath away
Every time I see your face again
I can't help but turn away
Another day
Another heart to heal
I go back to the lake at night
To find a way to let the ghost of you go free
Every thought, every dream inside my head
I just end up feeling worse again
Maybe bow a chance to clear my head
If I scream and shout
All I should have said
And then all my sins will wash away
Or I'll sit here right until the day you come back
