There’s a ghost in my loving machine
There’s a chip messing with my head
Telling me that our love is dead
Every time I reach you
You’re not there
You’re the one that tried to read my mind
You’re the one that I have to stall
I’ve been thinking of a red brick wall
Every time I reach you
You’re not there
The path that I chose to walk through
Might as well be the one I cling to
But I know I can live without you
And it’s all right
There’s a space where you used to be
Your possessions lying overgrown
In a chair rocking on its own
Every time I reach you
You’re not there
There’s a bed stretching on for miles
In a room that goes on for years
Where it’s always raining pillow tears
Every time I reach you
You’re not there
The path that I chose to walk through
Might as well be the one I cling to
But I know I can live without you
And it’s all right
I don’t know if you really want me
I don’t know if you really need me
I was there and I know it’s true
I was there he was talking with you
The path that I chose to walk through
Might as well be the one I cling to
But I know I can live without you
And it’s all right
The path that I chose to walk through
Might as well be the one I cling to
But I know I can live without you
So it’s all right
I don’t know if you really want me
I don’t know if you really need me
