But You Won't Love a Ghost Lyrics
Somebody ought to draw the line
Having you next to me.
We were both afraid to say what we think,
It's part of the poetry.
If I let you go and I walk away it's done,
But isn't it enough to say I won't.
Isn't it enough to say I can't?
And I just keep away for you.
Keep away for me.
You were a song to sing.
A way to say I need you more.
You need to stay.
You'll see me again.
Is it right or wrong?
You'll see me again.
We go on and on.
It's worth the wait,
And all this time I've had to change.
You'll see me again.
I know it won't be long.
When it's hard to break it's hard to take,
And the reasons why I never made it through,
And I never gave you all the things that I wanted to.
If I let you go and I walk away for reasons I will never know.
I break.
You pray.
You'll see me again.
Is it right or wrong?
You'll see me again.
We go on and on.
It's worth the wait,
And all this time I've had to change,
You'll see me again.
I know it won’t be long.
But you won't love a ghost.
I don't and I feel you in my throat.
Another taste of love.
You'll never know.
Never wait for it and now the hand you hold
Is now the hand that holds you down.
You'll see me again.
On and on, we go on and on, again.
You'll see me again.
Is it right or wrong?
You'll see me again.
We go on and on.
It's worth the wait,
And all this time I've had to change.
You'll see me again.
And I will let you in.
Having you next to me.
We were both afraid to say what we think,
It's part of the poetry.
If I let you go and I walk away it's done,
But isn't it enough to say I won't.
Isn't it enough to say I can't?
And I just keep away for you.
Keep away for me.
You were a song to sing.
A way to say I need you more.
You need to stay.
Is it right or wrong?
You'll see me again.
We go on and on.
It's worth the wait,
And all this time I've had to change.
You'll see me again.
I know it won't be long.
And the reasons why I never made it through,
And I never gave you all the things that I wanted to.
If I let you go and I walk away for reasons I will never know.
I break.
You pray.
Is it right or wrong?
You'll see me again.
We go on and on.
It's worth the wait,
And all this time I've had to change,
You'll see me again.
I know it won’t be long.
I don't and I feel you in my throat.
Another taste of love.
You'll never know.
Never wait for it and now the hand you hold
Is now the hand that holds you down.
On and on, we go on and on, again.
You'll see me again.
Is it right or wrong?
You'll see me again.
We go on and on.
It's worth the wait,
And all this time I've had to change.
You'll see me again.
And I will let you in.

"I wrote about love a lot on this record. I was going through a triangle [Song 1] of emotions at the time regarding how I felt about it. It feels like this song is about moving on. There are times when we know we should leave, but we're so afraid of the confrontation, and so afraid of the unknown and losing that comfort. I was going through that when I wrote this. I knew it was time to go. I wasn't the same person that I had been. Hence, 'You won't love a ghost.'" - Bradley
