Ghost Lover

Her life was in danger
The abuse was out of hand
She told the man she once loved
Get out of my land
The only memory I have of you is the back of your hand
And as he spat threats
She pronounced him gone
Once was once too often
This life couldn´t go on
Your instant gratification days are long gone

He´s a ghost of a lover

That man she once knew
But his phantom torture which he puts himself through
It showed on his face as his days grow into his years
Well, his body is strong
But his mind is weak
As he breaks her heart for the fourth time this week
Well, I just can´t live with you anymore, yeah

You´re just a ghost of a lover
You´re just a ghost of a lover
You´re just a ghost of a lover
Yeah

I only felt sorry for the unfortunate soul
Who lets his demon penetrate her hole
Strong words that will stand blue with the test of time

He´s a ghost of a lover

A man she once knew
But this phantom torture which he puts himself through
It showed on his face as his days grow into his years, yeah
But his body is strong
But his mind is weak
He breaks her heart for the fourth time this week
Well, I just can´t live with you no more, yeah

You´re just a ghost of a lover
You´re just a ghost of a lover
You´re just a ghost of a lover
You´re just a ghost of a lover
You´re just a ghost of a lover
You´re just a ghost of a lover
You´re just a ghost of a lover
Slips out of the door

Ghost of a lover
Ghost of a lover
Ghost of a lover
Ghost of a lover
Ghost of a lover
Ghost of a lover
Ghost of a lover
He´s a ghost of a lover

Of a man she once knew
This phantom torture which he puts himself through
Showed on his face as his days grow into his years
Well, his body is strong
But his mind is so weak
He breaks her nose for the fourth time this week
Well, I just can´t live with you anymore, yeah

You´re just a ghost of a lover
You´re just a ghost of a lover
Even just a ghost of a lover
Oh, yeah

You´re just a ghost of a lover
You´re just a ghost of a lover
You´re just a ghost of a lover
That I once knew

You´re just a ghost of a lover, ghost of a lover
Ghost of a lover, ghost of a lover
Ghost of a lover, ghost of a lover
Ghost of a lover, ghost of a lover

Life gone through
