Ghost Of A Friend

1. With a key you opened a door to a world I never knew I had.
    Opened my eyes with sweet vocal sighs
    and a heart I thought was true
If I only knew

    That fear and anger go hand in hand
    if you're not careful, you just might get burned.
I have learned

2. You trusted me like no one had wanted me to show you to the world
    I didn't think I could, you misunderstood
    and slowly you were gone
if I only knew

    That fear and anger go hand in hand
    if you're not careful, you just might get burned.
    I have learned

(chorus) I'm just the ghost of a friend you once knew
                wearing the chains of a name
                and the heart-broken pain
                of something I didn't do

3. I tried to show unbridled love to a girl in so many ways
    it scared you away, from that very day
    and you branded me a fool
if I only knew

    That fear and anger go hand in hand
    if you're not careful, you just might get burned.
    I have learned

(chorus)

4. I fought to rebuild, on eggshells I walked, always with an outstretched hand
    the more I try the deeper I fall
    But you meant so much to me
if I only knew

    That fear and anger go hand in hand
    if you're not careful, you just might get burned.
    I have learned
for
