I walk around feeling something has changed
  I catch myself thinking you feel as I do
  Like somehow the dream is haunting you too
  But I know the longing
  Is mine and mine alone
  I keep forgetting
  That I'm in love with a ghost

  The person you were
  I know you're not her
  She went away
  She went away

  I still want to say
  "Why did you change?"
  When I know full well
  There's no need to tell
  The person you were
  I know you're not her
  She just couldn't stay

  All of those letters of pain and love -
  Did we burn too bright, too bright to last?
  Were we destined always for a broken heart each?
  That we're now worlds apart
  Sometimes it seems

  When I'm around you
  One thing becomes clear
  The person I think of
  Every day is elsewhere
