Envoi – Ghost (Official Music Video)
Envoi – Ghost Lyrics:
I’ve never slept so sound, so silent
With images of broken dreams and broken things
All I ask of you now
Is please do not forget me
Please do not regret me
I never meant to leave
Going back to the beginning
I never thought I’d make it out alive
Work harder, work harder
They told me
My father, my father
Would he be proud of me?
[Chorus:]
If you could see me now
You would take back all the things that you never said to me
And how I tried to make you love me
But how can you love a ghost, love a ghost of what was meant to be
You’ll never know,
how much I loathe you
Keeping all my hopes within me
I never thought I’d be forced to tell a lie
Live longer, live longer
They told me
My father, my father
Would he be proud of me.
[Chorus]
Keep me in your mind
Think of all the wasted time
Where were you?
I’m waiting, still waiting
Keep me in your mind
[Chorus]
