Ghosts
Reflections of Unmet Expectations
Lyrics
I failed her
I have failed her.
Out of my sight
I want her out of my sight.
Making my heart grow fonder
My absence is making my affection for her stronger.
Trying to do what's right
I am attempting to do what is morally right.
I failed her
I have failed her again.
Out of my mouth
I want her out of my words or conversation.
Words overstepped, went further
I have spoken words that have gone beyond acceptable limits.
Much more than my thoughts
My words have exceeded the boundaries set by my thoughts.
These are forever, yet, she's not
These issues persist, but she is no longer present.
A constant reminder of all I could have lost
She serves as a constant reminder of what I might have lost.
A gift or a curse
Uncertainty whether she is a blessing or a burden.
So I figured out later
I later realized something important.
Talking down, crossing the line
I spoke critically, crossing a line in conversation.
That i'm no good to her
I am not beneficial or good for her.
I am a lie
I am living a falsehood; I am not truthful with her.
So I failed her
I have failed her again.
But not like anyone else
My failure is unique, not like the failures of others.
Because she's not like most
She is different from most people.
No she's not my ghosts
She is not merely a memory or haunting presence like ghosts.
These are forever, yet, she's not
These issues persist, but she is no longer present.
A constant reminder of all I could have lost
She is a constant reminder of what I might have lost.
A gift or a curse
Uncertainty whether she is a blessing or a burden.
These are forever
These issues persist indefinitely.
