You fade away like a memory I didn't know You could hear me crying I wouldn't do What you wanted to And now you know That I'm out here lying Face in the dirt And I feel your glare I turn to look And I see you sneering Try not to look Try not to stare Because you'll Slam my face in the floor I know you don't want me I've been here before You won't ever leave me Can't I be More than everyone can see Or am I just the ghost of me It isn't where I thought I'd be I try to leave But you pull me back And say my name I wish I could trust You're never doing this again You didn't have to take All the words I had to say And make me fear For my life in every other way You choose your words And your fists Are poised like weapons now But I am stronger I will show you anyhow These things you do All the hate And fury is in vain The bruises fade But the memories remain I won't do this again Can't I be More than everyone can see Or am I just the ghost of me It isn't where I thought I'd be
