Searching For Ghosts

I've told you things that
Were best left on the shelf
I've shown you things that
I should have kept to myself
I hear nothing from you
I think I know why
I am a fool for trying
My memories lie

It was never that way!
It was never that way!

You were the parasite
I was one of your hosts
Now that you're gone
I'm just searching for ghosts

I thought that I had you
I could remember your touch
Now when I see you
I don't remember so much
Thoughts that run away
Like a train leaving the station
Maybe everything we had
Was just my imagination

It was never that way!
It was never that way!

You were the parasite
I was one of your hosts
Now that you're gone
I'm just searching for ghosts

I'm sure there is a reason
That you seem to repent
Why I know your perfume
I still know that scent
I remember holding you
That soft skin feel
Now I wonder if to you
Any of it was real

It was never that way!
It was never that way!

You were the parasite
I was one of your hosts
Now that you're gone
I'm just searching for ghosts

I don't know how I overlooked this.I love it.

dang this is really personal real deep, definitely relatable. Great stuff

i like the song, but the last stanza just seems a little weird to me. weird in the sense of something being off, i like the song but theres just something about the last stanza that feels off, but otherwise great song

Personally, I don't think ghosts are real. A guy on another forum posted that he saw the ghost of Gloria Gaynor. She is not even dead!

To the first 3, thank you. and if you read the 3rd stanza in a different meter, it's a bridge... to Jim, It's a metaphor...
