  • I used to be the one who made you feel
    So safe and strong
    I could always make it right
    When everything was going wrong
    I don't know why it seems
    So different now
    I'm on my own
    And I don't know what it is
    That scares me when I'm all alone
    I can't believe that everyone I know
    Would lie to me
    When they all tell me that I'm not the man
    I used to be
    Don't want to hear about the things
    That I already know
    You've got to say it isn't so
    Oh no, it's the

    [Chorus]
    The ghost of you that gets me every time
    Just won't let go until it brings me down
    I try to hide it but there's only one
    My obsession is you

    Yeah, my friends all turn away
    They tell me not to waste my time
    They say they just don't understand
    How anyone could be so blind
    And there's one thing you can't change
    Forget about her now you know she's gone
    Hey boy, that girl is just no good
    She's only gonna do you harm

    So I watch the hours turn
    Until I lose the last lony Roy of light
    And I know I can't pretend
    Those shadows won't come out tonight

    [Chorus] Writer/s: Ivor Arthur Davies, Robert Grant Kretschmer
