Phantom
Jason Gaffner Lyrics

If these haunted walls could speak
If the walls of this place that we used to share could talk, what would they say?

What would they say to me, say to me?
What kind of things would the walls say to me if they could speak?

I find it so hard to believe
It's difficult for me to believe that you've become nothing but a memory.

You're just a memory, memory
You're nothing more than a thought in my mind.

All I want are the answers to
I need to know the reasons for

Figure out what I did to you
Understand why you left and what I did wrong that made you.

Humor me, and please, explain
Please, give me an explanation even if it's something I don't want to hear.

Cuz I thought we laid in a (?)
Because I thought we shared a special bond that would never end.

Gave you all that I could give, but
Although I gave you all of myself, it wasn't enough to keep us together.

Two lives are too much to live
We couldn't balance our own lives while trying to make the relationship work.

Now I'm wishing you the best
Even though things didn't work out between us, I still want the best for you.

So I hope that you can save yourself
I hope that you find happiness and can fix the issues that made you leave.

Now you're just a phantom in the night,
Now, you're no longer with me physically, and only exist as a memory.

A quiet voice inside my head
A soft whisper in my mind.

I'm too tired to fight
I'm too exhausted to keep thinking about the past and the emotions it brings up.

Nothing but a specter in my mind,
You're just a ghostly figure that haunts my thoughts.

A vision haunting all my dreams
You still invade my dreams even after all this time.

After all this time
Even after a long period of time has passed.

Imagine what we could have been
Think about what our relationship could have been if things had gone differently.

If you had left me in, left me in
If you had let me be a part of your life.

Behind all the walls you built
Behind the emotional barriers you put up.

How do you live with this, live with this?
How do you cope with the feelings I'm experiencing right now?

(Now you're just a phantom in the night,
Now, you're no longer with me physically, and only exist as a memory.

Whooa, whoa
A vocal expression of sadness or disappointment.

A-na nana, a-na nana, whooa
Vocals used to emphasize frustration and sadness.
