Now we are just people
We used to know
We'll never meet again
And if we do we're only friends
I still go to all the places
Where we used to go
But now I'm all alone
With your ghost
Through the quiet empty streets
The hallow places
Where we'd meet
All I have is your memory
Cold wind blowing by my side
Where you used to walk
Now I'm lonely wherever I go
Oh, my mind is my pensive host
Still I always wish
I never let you go
Now my heart feels
Like a stone in a wall
Which holds me inside
Accompanied by my own soul
Everything seems dark and grey
Since I threw your love away
Life turned its back
On me
Silence on the other end
Of the telephone
I'm still waiting
'til you call my name
Your ghost and I spend our time
Whispering words we would say
And I play the holy saint
But oh, my halo fades away
Still I always wish
I never let you go
I'd turn around to turn her on
And never ever go, oh no
I'd turn around to turn her on
And never ever go, oh no
I'd forever endeavour
and never ever go, oh no
Can't you hear I'm begging you:
“Please, please!”
Still I always wish
I never let you go
