My Chemical Romance Lyrics

"The Ghost Of You"

I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died, we'd be together, ow
I can't always just forget her
But she could try

At the end of the world or the last thing I see
You are never coming home, never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever, ever

Ever get the feeling that you're never all alone?
And I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms, she dies, she dies

At the end of the world or the last thing I see
You are never coming home, never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home, never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me

If I fall
If I fall down
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

At the end of the world or the last thing I see
You are never coming home, never coming home
Never coming home, never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever going to haunt me

Never coming home, never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna

The fourth and final single from their second studio album, it was released to radio stations on the 27th of September of 2005.

This song was inspired by Alan Moore's graphic novel, "Watchmen". Gerard Way, the frontman, said in a 2008 MTV interview, "Some things were even born out of [the comic]. On 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge', the third single, 'Ghost of You,' comes from the ad in 'Watchmen' for 'Nostalgia' [perfume] that says, 'Oh, how the ghost of you clings.'"

The music video for this track was filmed in Malibu, California. My Chemical Romance explained in an interview with Fuse, "We shot a movie and just edited it to be a video. It's like if you put 'Helena' and 'I'm Not Okay (I Promise)' together to make one long music video, it still would top that."
