Born from a desperation. My quiet contemplation
All the love I've ever known was mistaken
But pride makes a lonely man
Oh, my righteous hand
All the jewels I've owned, I have taken
And so your words rang true, the cowboy in the room
You tried to teach me what was underrated
The consequence of hope is a disappointing road
I could see it in your eyes how you were jaded
She doesn't care about my honest way with words
And I'm just a ghost no one can cling to
That desperate smile, the one you won't see through
I won't move an inch it's how I feed you
Winter was cold that year. Defining all my fears
Taking from me what I held sacred
But then I held those trembling hands
She doesn't care about my honest way with words
And I'm just a ghost no one can cling to
That desperate smile, the one you won't see through
I won't move an inch it's how I feed you
As kids we'd play such shallow games
But to me it was real when we booked our flights to Neverland
The hopeless times, the starving nights
I wanted to believe that I was heading for that ship again
She doesn't care about my honest way with words
And I'm just a ghost no one can cling to
That desperate smile, the one you won't see through
I won't move an inch it's how I feed you
