Ghost

from Stranger Hug! by Ian Taylor

/

lyrics

The state of the world it scares me
and I am small and lonely
a child in desperate need of caring.
So I'll write this simple song to pass the time
and get me through another sleepless night
maybe one day I'll get it right.
But I don't know if I'll ever be enough for the one I truly love.
Cause I've been beat like a dog without a home
and now I'm left all alone.
Ain't this a horrible way?
Ain't this a horrible way to grow up?
So here I go again, vulnerable and open.
They say "look at how thin you've gotten."
I say "I know. It's just I can't find the place for the things I use to chase,
It seems they all lost their taste."
But I'll be the ghost that haunts you both,
like the withering rose that you keep locked and kept closed.
But I don't know if you'll ever look my way, it's so hard to say.
Cause I wander shy, like a dog with no home,
and now I'm left all alone.
Ain't this a horrible way?
Ain't this a horrible way to grow up?
