I don't pick up the mail

I don't pick up the phone

I don't answer the door

I just soon be alone

I don't keep this place up

I just keep the lights down

I don't live in these rooms

I just rattled around

I'm just a ghost in this house

I'm just a shadow upon these walls

As quietly as a mouse

I haunt these halls

I'm just a whisper of smoke

I'm all that's left

of two hearts on fire

That once burned out of control

You took my body and soul

I'm just a ghost in this house

I don't care if it rains

I don't care if it's clear

I don't mind stayin' near

There's another ghost here

He sits down in your chair

And he shines with your light

And he lays down his head

On your pillow at night

I'm just a ghost in this house

I'm just a shadow upon these walls

I'm living proof of the

damage heartbreak does

I'm just a whisper of smoke

I'm all that's left

of two hearts on fire

That once burned out of control

You took my body and soul

I'm just a ghost in this house

that once burned

out of control

you took my body and soul

iam just a ghost in this house..
