Rina Sawayama – Phantom Lyrics

 

Phantom Lyrics by Rina Sawayama

 

Once upon a time
There was a girl, pleasing the world
Dying to be liked, looking for love
Wanting to trust

Stickers and scented gel pens,
Get possessions
Get friends
Breaking of pieces, things started to change
Ive been trying to find her since, she gave a little to much away

I don’t want to do this without you
I don’t want to do this if you’re just a ghost in the night
I tried everything to fill up the void you left me with
My Phantom

Phantom

If I could talk to you, I’d tell you not to rush
You’re good enough
You dont have to loose, what makes you you,
Still got some growing to do

When did we get so estranged
Haunted by the way i’ve changed
Peeling back the pieces of me that i’ve lost
Reaching in and hoping you’re still, waiting by the windowsill
I’d bring you back to us

I don’t want to do this without you
I don’t want to do this if you’re just a ghost in the night
I tried everything to fill up the void you left me with
My Phantom

I was wrong to assume, I would ever out grow you
I need you now, I need you close
How do you hold a ghost
Inner child, come back to me, I want to tell you that i’m sorry

I don’t want to do this without you
I don’t want to do this if you’re just a ghost in the night
I tried everything to fill up the void you left me with
My Phantom

Don’t want to do this without you,
Don’t want to do this if you’re locked away in my mind
I tried everything to fill up the void you left me with
My Phantom

Once upon a time, there was a girl
Dying to be liked, looking for love

I don’t want to do this without you
