I've lost my voice
I've said all I have to say
You're thick as porcelain
As clear as cellophane
I miss the nervous shake
And miss the way it hurt
The way it killed to think
That I had You first, that I had you first

So then I force a smile and I take the stage
Now my knees are weak try to concentrate
I'm loosing air with every single breathe that I take
I look into your eyes See the chemicals
You're the whitest white You've become a ghost
You're dead to me so why can't I let you go?

The phone is like a knife
I drive into my ear
I had a love affair
With distance and with fear
The bus is like a hearse
Driving me from her
She's as black as white
She the perfect curse
She's the perfect curse

So then I force a smile and I take the stage
Now my knees are weak try to concentrate
I'm loosing air with every single breathe that I take
I look into your eyes See the chemicals
You're the whitest white You've become a ghost
You're dead to me so why can't I let you go?

And if the walls had eyes, we would never lie, you could come down on me

And if you saved my life, how could I survive, you're the one that made me

This way

So then I force a smile and I take the stage
Now my knees are weak try to concentrate
I'm loosing air with every single breathe that I take
I look into your eyes See the chemicals
You're the whitest white You've become a ghost
You're dead to me so why can't I let you go?
