I don´t pick up the mail
I don´t pick up the phone
I don´t answer the door
I´d just as 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 rattle 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 staying in
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
And took my body and soul
I´m just a ghost in this house
Oh, I´m just a ghost in this house
