Greenline

I used to carry all the world upon my shoulders
Just to bring it to your feet
Now there's a ghost who rides the green line every morning
Looks a lot like me
It's been years since you left home
Faded pictures on my walls are all that's left
But you still haunt me
Now who's to say what lies beneath this flesh
Hollow bones and aching heart
The nest we built by hand, twig by twig
Just cracked and fell apart
Wove your words into my songs
Tried to hide all the scars beneath the lights
And the lies you told
Never understood your smile as you said
"I miss you, but I'm glad that you're gone"
Was it the way goodbye tasted on your lips?
