Where only ruins remain now, there once was a town Back in those days when rain never stopped pouring down I had a friend who lived there, but I can't recall The reason why we never said one word at all I met him in December, when the rain was blue He just came out of nowhere- oh, I had no clue He tried to take my hand, but he didn't succeed 'Cause there was that one difference between him and me Tell me now, how could one be a good friend To someone whom they can't even hug? Then, how could I make up for my hateful silence? I was scared, but somehow it just went well Though I think it might have been just luck My mistake was believing one day he'd hold my hand Call him a ghost, if you think it's fair But he was much more than that, I swear Two lonely souls standing in the rain We never asked each other's name It was too late to go back, but I didn't care I felt like I was safe as long as he was there But one day something changed and the rain turned bright red I still think 'bout the words I wish I would have said He shouldn't have befriended a person like me Someone who had a body, someone who could breathe He didn't want to whisper a bitter goodbye So he just stood right there, he just stayed by my side Tell me now, how could one be so helpless? Though I knew it wasn't meant to be I just kept believing that we would be alright Say, if somehow you could live forever After all, would you still want to live? Can you read the guilt I tried to hide behind my eyes? Call me a ghost, if you think it's fair Though I look nothing like one, I swear Take back this gift which I don't deserve That's what I wish that he would have heard
