You were once a strange addiction
Hit and run much greater than fiction
Thought I buried you
Beyond matter beyond time
I believe that you are mine
How many times before
Have you walked through my door
Just to leave me once more
The ghost that feeds on your heart has won
I must stop loving you
That thief has taken your soul and run
I must stop loving you
This lifetime
Was it Daddy's cruel distracted shadow
Or Mama's quiet remorse
Lead you on this bramble
path you follow
Made you bet on the wrong horse
The ghost that feeds on your heart has won
Can I stop loving you
That thief has taken your soul and run
I must stop loving you
Yes here we are
It's a force we can't conceal
A magnet star
Being pulled by fortune's wheel
You set a match my house
burned down
Inside your arms
I gladly drown
I was alive again
You were my oxygen
The ghost that feeds on your heart has won
I must stop loving you
That thief has taken your soul and run
Can I stop loving you
I must stop loving you if
It's the last thing that I do at this time
Can I stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
I must stop loving you
Maybe next time
we'll get it right
