The Seed of a Lie

I'm a ghost in the dark and I'm yours.

I belong in the past and I'm yours.

Like a song you forget, and I'm yours.

Like a dream in the night, and I'm yours.

The wrong place?

The wrong time?

I don't know.

The wrong face?

Yours or mine?

I don't know.

Like a tear when you sleep, I'll be yours.

Like a scar that won't fade, I'll be yours.

Like a pain in the cold, I'll be yours.

Like a fear in the heart, I'll be yours.

The wrong word when you cry

I will be

Like the seed of a lie

I will be

Like the germ of disease

I will be

Like the last one who cared

I will be

Like your shadow

I will haunt you

Do you remember?

I said to you

'Love is a mountain

But harder to climb.

It should be forever

But love is unkind

To me.

Don't let me down.'

And you let me down.
