I look down and see my face in the water
Is that really what I am?
My reflection twists and turns, then fades away
But still I remain where I stand.

I look back on a time
When everything was right
Before the night I was cast away
Now here I stand
I'm heartbroken, and
It gets harder every day

I try to turn around and run away
But something is forcing me to stay
I can't escape or change directions
All I see are these reflections

I try to look away, but my gaze is frozen
On this reflection that I see
I'm crushed, I'm shattered, I'm torn and broken
What the hell is wrong with me?

Looking back on the past
Again, I ask
Why was I tossed aside?
I fell for you
I trusted you
But in the end, you lied

I try to turn around and run away
But something forces me to stay
I can't escape or change directions
Forever haunted by these reflections

I can't avert my eyes
All my hopes have died
There's nothing I can do
It's all because of you

I try to turn around and run away
But something forces me to stay
I can't escape or change directions
Forever haunted by these reflections

There he stands alone again
She left him without reason
She broke his heart, she caused his pain
And now she doesn't even see him
She's oblivious to his constant stare
That follows her all around
She doesn't even know he's there
No matter how much he tries to stand out

He sees her face every day
He's starting to go insane
He can't seem to get away
From all of his pain

Now he's nothing but a ghost
Now he's nothing but a ghost

He opened his heart to her
But he never expected
That she would play along
The suddenly reject him
She thinks that she can act
Like nothing ever happened
She left him for another
Bringing their friendship to an end

It's harder every day
For him to stay sane
He can't find a way
To escape his pain

Now he's nothing but a ghost
Now he's nothing but a ghost

This is a hymn for the heartbroken
A piece for those who have spoken
Of the pain and sorrow they've gone through
Those who've loved, those who've lost, this is for you

Why can't she see him, why can't she feel him?
Why can't she acknowledge or even hear him?
Why doesn't he exist in her sight?
What will it take to make things right?

Why can't she see him, why can't she feel him? (Now he's nothing)
Why can't she acknowledge or even hear him? (He's just a ghost)
Why doesn't he exist in her sight? (She doesn't see him)
What will it take to make things right? (He's just a ghost)
