Her life was in danger

The abuse was out of hand

She told the man she once loved

Get out of my land

The only memory I have of you is the back of your hand

And as he spat threats

She pronounced him gone

Once was once too often

This life couldn´t go on

Your instant gratification days are long gone



He´s a ghost of a lover



That man she once knew

But his phantom torture which he puts himself through

It showed on his face as his days grow into his years

Well, his body is strong

But his mind is weak

As he breaks her heart for the fourth time this week

Well, I just can´t live with you anymore, yeah



You´re just a ghost of a lover

You´re just a ghost of a lover

You´re just a ghost of a lover

Yeah



I only felt sorry for the unfortunate soul

Who lets his demon penetrate her hole

Strong words that will stand blue with the test of time



He´s a ghost of a lover



A man she once knew

But this phantom torture which he puts himself through

It showed on his face as his days grow into his years, yeah

But his body is strong

But his mind is weak

He breaks her heart for the fourth time this week

Well, I just can´t live with you no more, yeah



You´re just a ghost of a lover

You´re just a ghost of a lover

You´re just a ghost of a lover

You´re just a ghost of a lover

You´re just a ghost of a lover

You´re just a ghost of a lover

You´re just a ghost of a lover

Slips out of the door



Ghost of a lover

Ghost of a lover

Ghost of a lover

Ghost of a lover

Ghost of a lover

Ghost of a lover

Ghost of a lover

He´s a ghost of a lover



Of a man she once knew

This phantom torture which he puts himself through

Showed on his face as his days grow into his years

Well, his body is strong

But his mind is so weak

He breaks her nose for the fourth time this week

Well, I just can´t live with you anymore, yeah



You´re just a ghost of a lover

You´re just a ghost of a lover

Even just a ghost of a lover

Oh, yeah



You´re just a ghost of a lover

You´re just a ghost of a lover

You´re just a ghost of a lover

That I once knew



You´re just a ghost of a lover, ghost of a lover

Ghost of a lover, ghost of a lover

Ghost of a lover, ghost of a lover

Ghost of a lover, ghost of a lover



Life gone through
