Pale Imitation

And I will leave a light on
As long as there's a hope
A solitary candle
But in the meanwhile

I'm sitting at this table
So utterly empty at her side

I keep you like a secret
And I smile
But it's not quite true
And it's not quite you

Pale imitation
All the finest words could buy
For I
As lost as I am
Imitation
Of the one I left behind
The one
The one I left behind

As long as theres a hope left
If there's anybody home
There's dead leaves in the driveway
Is there anybody?

Tonight is so familiar
As long as I don't look too close
For the last, last last time
I find myself a wasted summer rose
And I chase the ghost
That I miss the most

Pale imitation
All the finest words could buy
For I
As lost as I am
Imitations
Of the one I left behind
The one
The one I left behind

(The one I left behind)

Pale imitation

The one I left behind

Imitation (Imitation)
All the finest words could buy
For I
As lost as I am
Imitations (Imitations)
Of the one I left behind
The one
The one I left behind
