Lyrics

I don't pick up the mail,

I neglect to check the mail.

I don't pick up the phone,

I ignore incoming calls.

I don't answer the door,

I avoid answering the door.

I just soon be alone

I prefer solitude over company.

I don't keep this place up,

I don't maintain this place.

I just keep the lights down,

I keep the lights low, creating a dim atmosphere.

I don't live in these rooms,

I don't actively inhabit these rooms.

I just rattled around

I wander aimlessly within.


I'm just a ghost in this house,

I feel like a ghost in this house, a presence without substance.

I'm shadow upon these walls,

I cast a shadow on the walls.

As quietly as a mouse,

I move quietly, like a mouse.

I haunt these halls,

I linger in these halls, reminiscent of a haunting.

I'm just a whisper of smoke,

I exist as a faint, barely perceptible smoke.

I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire,

I represent the remnants of a once passionate love.

That once burned out of control,

This love burned intensely but is now extinguished.

You took my body and soul,

You took not only my physical self but also my essence.

I'm just a ghost in this house

I am merely a ghost in this house, a lingering presence.


I don't care if it rains,

I am indifferent to the weather.

I don't care if it's clear,

Weather conditions don't affect me.

I don't mind stayin' near,

I am content to stay close.

There's another ghost here,

There is another ghost present, a symbolic representation.

He sits down in your chair,

This ghost occupies the space you once did.

And he shines with your light,

It radiates with your qualities and essence.

And he lays down his head,

It rests where you used to lay your head.

On your pillow at night

It occupies your pillow during the night.


I'm just a ghost in this house,

I remain a ghost in this house, a lingering presence.

I'm just a shadow upon these walls,

My presence is like a shadow on these walls.

I'm living proof of the damage heartbreak does,

I am evidence of the pain caused by heartbreak.

I'm just a whisper of smoke,

I am a faint, ethereal existence.

I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire,

I represent the remnants of our once fervent love.

That once burned out of control,

This love, now extinguished, burned uncontrollably.

You took my body and soul,

You took both my physical and spiritual being.

I'm just a ghost in this house

I persist as a ghost in this house, a lingering memory.


That once burned out of control,

This love once burned passionately and unrestrained.

You took my body and soul,

You claimed both my physical and spiritual self.

I'm just a ghost in this house

I endure as a mere ghost in this house, a residual presence.
