so many sleepless nights i've had
can't seem to close my eyes
these december days are dark and cold
makes for the sad and the long night

trapped inside
i can't find my way back home
pretend i was just a friend
and i wish i could
i wish i could say no
here i am
i must be watching someone else
and i close my eyes and try to see your face
someone tell the stars to go away
i'd like the sky real black today
so i can keep the ghost inside my skin

i remember how you tried and smile
is there a reason why
all these memories left me in surprise
with sorry love tricks you used me badly

trapped inside
i can't find my way back home
pretend i was just a friend
and i wish i could
i wish i could say no
here i am
i must be watching someone else
and i close my eyes and try to see your face
someone tell the stars to go away
i'd like the sky real black today
so i can keep the ghost inside my skin

and i thought i had all the answers to my life
everything i knew was wrong
and i thought i had all the answers to my life
everything i knew was wrong

wish i could say hello to all my friends
i'll say hello to you again
wish i could say hello to all my friends
and i'll say hello to you again
and i'll say hello to you again
i'll say hello to all my friends
i'll say hello
