Higher Law - Ghost From The Past Lyrics

Can I still call you a friend
Nothing lasts until the end
We used to walk all night on those empty streets
With our heads held high

You left me feeling high and dry
Just like a fire in July
I wanted nothing more than to let you know
I let you go

This is not the beginning
This is the end
Memories fade so fast
I won't forget
Not everything is always as it seems
And in my dreams you talk to me again
The time is closing in

Can't take anymore
I'm a ghost from the past now
And I'll never last
I've been waiting so long
The leaves are falling
Time is passing us by
Couldn't it stay the same?
I never wanted it to change

If we only knew everything we know right now
Maybe then we'd realize
There is a downside to growing up
Everything would be okay
They say people never change
But they never really stay the same
And they never take the blame

Can't take anymore
I'm a ghost from the past now
And I'll never last
I've been waiting so long
The leaves are falling
Time is passing us by
Couldn't it stay the same?
I never wanted it to change

You're not supposed to live life in the past
There's nothing we can do to bring it back
It scares me how it seems to go so fast
It's crazy how it never seems to last

So close your eyes and then we can pretend
That everything can be the same again
Most things never really go as planned
This is impossible to understand

Help me I can't take anymore
I'm a ghost from the past now
And I'll never last
I've been waiting so long
The leaves are falling
Time is passing us by
Couldn't it stay the same?
I never wanted it to change

Why do you say it's not over?
We're both getting older
It's not the same
I never wanted it to change
I never wanted it to change
I never wanted it to change
