Ghost on the Wire

[Verse]

You told me stories you didn’t think I’d know

Words like matches you struck but wouldn’t show

All the excuses you thought I’d never read

But the truth comes crawling between you and me

[Verse 2]

Checked out burned out you pushed me to the edge

My heart’s on fire but stuck under your ledge

You felt the power the words you left unsaid

I caught the current drowning in your threads

[Chorus]

You left me hanging like a ghost on the wire

Lies like a spark never catching the fire

Every note I sing echoes in the hollow

But my voice rises high no storm will I follow

[Verse 3]

Promises scrawled in the dust of your hand

I tried to gather them but they turned into sand

You left me searching for gold in the rain

But the fool’s treasure was tied to my pain

[Bridge]

Where did you lose me in the twist of your mind

I chased the stars but you left me blind

It’s not the fall but how sharp the edge

Still I leap forward away from the dread

[Chorus]

You left me hanging like a ghost on the wire

Lies like a spark never catching the fire

Every note I sing echoes in the hollow

But my voice rises high no storm will I follow
