A Phantom

Your voice, your scent, your face
Memories I hold in place
A Phantom to simulate what drew me to you

I know it's not real but it's as real as it gets
If you don't come back soon I fear that I'll forget

All that time I thought we were dancing

I want you in the flesh, I'm through with ghosts
I've saved for you my best, I've held out hope

You're only next door but that's impossibly far
If you don't come back soon I fear that I'll forget

All that time I thought were dancing
Was it just make believe?

All that time I thought we were dancing with you in the lead
Were you just an eddy, and me a leaf?
Spinning with utter devotion but now the sickness has motion
This is not the first time I've let myself be deceived

You're giving me no choice, you leave me no choice
You're leaving me no choice, you're leaving my mind
