If you've ever been haunted, by love that won't go away
You know your head keeps all the reminders, of what meant to say
Inside I'm a jumble of emotions and I try not let it show
Some days I don't want you to see me like this, but on others I want you to know

This is the 23rd of loneliness
How long 'til I can lay this ghost to rest
This is the 23rd of missing you
You always were the one who helped me through
This is the 23rd of loneliness

How did we end up being world's apart, when you're just a street away
And your best friend made out, she didn't notice me, in the 7-11 today
I write a letter to you every night, but the words just come out wrong
One half of me wants to turn back te clock and the other wants to move on

This is the 23rd of loneliness
How long 'til I can lay this ghost to rest
This is the 23rd of missing you
You always were the one who helped me through
This is the 23rd of loneliness

Some days I think I'm over you, but I'm only fooling myself, yeah, yeah
'Cause the times I go to sleep at night, I see you there with some other guy
Ooh, oh, oh, oh

This is the 23rd of loneliness
How long 'til I lay this ghost to rest
This is the 23rd of missing you
You always were the one who helped me through
This is the 23rd of loneliness
How long until the pain will hurt me less
