Your time in the lights Came and went just as fast Stolen from you in your moment of glory It's an old story It's an old ghost you can't forget And you regret the way That it was taken away from you Now you try to relieve what you could've been Mouthing the words You don't even believe in And you're losing your shadow You're losing your dreams You're losing everything ANd you can't get it back You say you didn't want much You only wanted her and she's not much You mean it's easier to be mean Than to say the way you really feel I wonder how much it would really mean If it were real Well you take a sad song ANd make it last foever Over and Over Double 'A' side promo Once more without feeling Once more without failing One more time playing the stupid game Of holding on and not letting theing's change Of holding on to old ghosts And never learning That you can't get it back Now your losing your shadow You're losing your dreams You're just a ghost of what you used to believe And you can't get it back You couldn't hold on, you couldn't let go Ah, you moved too slow And you can't get it back
