What am I supposed to do
With all these blues
Haunting me, everywhere, no matter what I do
Watching the candle flicker out, the evening glow
I cant let go
When will this night be over
Chorus:
I didnt mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me thru
It isnt love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
Seen a lot of broken hearts
Go sailing by...
Phantom ships, lost at sea
And one of them is mine
Raising my glass, I sing a toast, to the midnight sky
I wonder why
The stars dont seem to guide me
Chorus:
I didnt mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me thru
It isnt love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
The ghost of you and me
When will it set me free
I hear the voices call,
Following footsteps down the hall
Trying to save what's left of my heart and soul
Watching the candle flicker out , the evening glow
I cant let go
When will this night be over
Chorus:
I didnt mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me thru
It isnt love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
(Repeat twice)
She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holding back
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace
The teacher wonders but she doesnt ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Baring the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
Chorus:
Thru the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she cant rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbours hear but they turn out the light
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late
Chorus:
Thru the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she cant rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete Angel
A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written in a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot
Chorus:
Thru the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she cant rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete Angel.
