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 relive
  What you one 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 mean if it were real
    Well you take a sad song
  And make it last forever
  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 things change
  Of holding on to old ghosts
  And never learning
    Now you're 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
