"Phantom" lyrics

"Phantom"

With all this time wasted and all this time gone
You are still waitin' on me
And every time you leave the house remember you're not safe
But you are hardly ever

And all those times that I could swear I heard you speak
You spoke in such a low voice
Of how if you could choose you would choose not to feel
'Cause you are hardly ever happy

And sometimes I find myself standing in the stairs
With eyes so blank and unsure
Realizing this is not where I want to be
And not where I want to go

And I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to disagree
But I feel that you had failed to see
In order to love you have to be all you can be
And mostly, you have to love yourself

'Cause with all this time wasted and all this time gone
You are still waitin' on me
Oh, but if I could choose, I would choose not to feel
'Cause I am hardly ever happy
I am hardly ever happy, yeah
