Well you traced back the lines to my former self
So quietly that I couldn't even tell
There I was, and there you were in my former hell
And there I knew that you had broken through my shell
You were hot to the touch, yeah you burned so bright
Then got so cold it's like it couldn't have been right
But I've seen this before and this time I'll fight it
I'll watch this old flame finally go out tonight
'Cause the ghost of you has returned again
And I swear this time I think I can win
'Cause my heart's now stronger than it was back then
Still here I am cut beneath the skin
You tore at me again 'til the wound felt fresh
And uncovered all I thought I'd put to rest
All the stitches in the world could never fix the flesh
If this story keeps repeating itself again
But maybe deep down
You know you were the only one, only one who got to me
And I could leave now
But I know I'd still be right back at the beginning
'Cause the ghost of you has returned again
And I swore this time I thought I could win
'Cause my heart's now stronger than it was back then
Still here I am cut beneath the skin
Yeah the ghost of you has returned again
And I swore this time I wouldn't let you in
'Cause my heart's now colder than it was back then
Still here I am cut beneath the skin
Here I am cut beneath the skin
