Watching the clock, I still can't sleep
Wondering all the whatifs as I weep
Waiting for someone to take me home
But still I'm left here on my own

When will my hero save me again
Why has my love for you become a sin
Where did all the smiles go
Its helpless asking since only you know

I want you here, not a ghost of the past
Want to know our love will last
Baby I can feel you here
Even though you're nowhere near

The fire in my eyes is now burned out
Because of the fears, nightmares, and doubt
Not sure of what is reality or fantasy
I'm becoming scared of what will become of me

I'm a damsel in distress
I don't love you any less 
Please come save me soon
I'm tired of talking to the moon

I want you here, not a ghost of the past
Want to know our love will last
Baby I can feel you here
Even though you're nowhere near

Darling don't you see
That I know you belong with me
And that I belong with you
Of course our love is true

Sweet god, the taste of your lips,
Still lingers from that last kiss
But the thing is you're not here
And babe I miss having you near

I want you here, not a ghost of the past
Want to know our love will last
Baby I can feel you here
Even though you're nowhere near

I feel the ghost of  your hand in mine
And your voice trying to whisper its fine
Baby I want you back where you belong
How did everything go so wrong.
