Phantom

The only place we'd ever met
was deep inside a dream.
So maybe it was fantasy
That kept me on my knees;
Praying, searching, wanting more
of you for me to feel

You hurt me once, and I can heal
Twice, and I give up
Three times ends the time of hurt
Mistakes can prove too much

And away you walked, so easily
Like I was never even here.
The times you left me lonely,
Were the times I longed to hold you near.

And knowing now, you aren't strong
I'd love to see your tears.

I'd love to get inside your empty head;
Erase the wasted years.

They say our lovers teach us
That we can learn from those mistakes
The only thing you ever taught
Is what its like to be replaced

But honey, you won't keep me low
It was only just a dream;
A figment of reality.
You were never what you seemed.
