Dancing slowly in an empty room Can the lonely take the place of you I sing myself a quiet lullaby Let you go and let the lonely in To take my heart again I'm a ghost of a girl That I want to be most I'm the shell of a girl That I used to know well

Take these chains off Take 'em off my heart Give me some kind of life Leave me be I move away it don't do me no good Three thousand miles don't help like I thought it would Help me, beggin' you please You got the power down on my knees Reach out to me,

'Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong So I take off my face And I pull out my tongue And I cough up my lungs 'Cause they remind me how it all went wrong But I leave in my heart 'Cause I don't want to stay in the dark I am sorry this is always how it
