Girl you're so pretty, like a princess in book
But my pants are dirty, don't deserve a second look
Just keep on walking, while I drink away my rent
I won't bother trying, my luck has long been spent
If only you knew me when life still tasted sweet
Things would be different, I'd sweep you off your feet
Now I feel like poison, and I'm treated just that way
I sit in the shadows as you pa** by every day
Hey, you haunt my dreams at night
Yeah, like a ghost your skin so white
And your lips so red
I once was a baby, and a happy little boy
I was an athlete, my Daddy's pride and joy
Then I was a soldier, it seems like four lifetimes ago
Now I am nothing, what happened I don't know
You know you could save me, if you'd only look my way
Maybe you'd linger, and I'd find the words to say
Hey, you haunt my dreams at night
Yeah, like a Mei Kong firefight
Hey, you haunt my dreams at night
Yeah, like a ghost your skin so white
And your lips so red
