 There is a ghost upon my lips

 of which whose taste I can't resist

 to call upon each time I miss

 that touch of grace that I long to feel again.

Is there something I don't realize

 a hides behind that bed of lies

 that calls me back down to my knees;

 that holds me down and won't let me up again?

 Cos I've been here 3 times before,

 to pick my heart up off the floor

 and I don't think I can take one more

 and I sure as hell won't go back there again.

Even as I try to shake these shackles from my arms

everything about this should be ringing bells alarm

 saying don't go back there, don't get mixed up,

don't get knocked down cos you won’t get up again.

Move yourself into the eyes

 of all those lovers you despise

 then you can say with an open heart

 that you got knocked down but got straight back up again.

Even as I try to shake these shackles from my arms

everything about this should be ringing bells alarm

 saying don't go back there, don't get mixed up,

don't get knocked down cos you won’t get up again.

Carry me not your arms

 until those silent bells alarm,

 of which your eyes can not disguise.

 You will always woe that the next day’s sun will rise.

 Impossible is just a word

 the most ridiculous I've heard

 to leave your lips up to this date,

 let’s give it all up and leave it up to fate.

Even as I try to shake these shackles from my arms

everything about this should be ringing bells alarm

 saying don't go back there, don't get mixed up,

don't get knocked down cos you won’t get up again.

Even as I try to shake these shackles from my arms

everything about this should be ringing bells alarm

 saying don't go back there, don't get mixed up,

don't get knocked down cos you won’t get up again.

You won’t get up again

No I won’t get up again
