Your time in the lights

Came and went just as fast

Stolen from you in your moment of glory

It's an old story

It's an old ghost you can't forget

And you regret the way

That it was taken away from you



Now you try to relieve

what you could've been

Mouthing the words

You don't even believe in

And you're losing your shadow

You're losing your dreams

You're losing everything

ANd you can't get it back



You say you didn't want much

You only wanted her and she's not much

You mean it's easier to be mean

Than to say the way you really feel

I wonder how much it would really mean

If it were real



Well you take a sad song

ANd make it last foever

Over and Over

Double 'A' side promo

Once more without feeling

Once more without failing



One more time playing the stupid game

Of holding on and not letting theing's change

Of holding on to old ghosts

And never learning

That you can't get it back



Now your losing your shadow

You're losing your dreams

You're just a ghost

of what you used to believe

And you can't get it back



You couldn't hold on, you couldn't let go

Ah, you moved too slow

And you can't get it back
