How do you live,
how do you sleep with the ghosts inside your dreams'
The movie won't stop it just plays
Over and over one September day
The night was bright
you looked your best in a stadium with all of your friends
Pretty flowers, pretty dress
Can't dry the soft tears off your face
If you could tell yourself don't go, just to call away another five more days

She's not yours
to kill, to steal, destroy
Who gave you the right to entitle what's black and white'
this is not, this is not your heart
don't take this lightly
beats softly but lonely

Homecoming queen, sweet sixteen
the years have become a blur.
you ask yourself so many questions
what am I missing when I'm missing her'
Tonight is bright.
the moon sheds a perfect light on wet concrete
there is forgiveness, there is grace.
washing away all of your stains.

If you could tell the others please don't go
walk amongst ghosts and they'll be walking away as ghosts

She's not yours
to kill, to steal, destroy
Who gave you the right to entitle what's black and white'
this is not, this is not your heart
don't take this lightly
beats softly but lonely

Can't get through to you girl.
'Cuz she's forgiven you, have you forgiven yourself'
Can't get through to you girl.
I hope this gets through to you.

She's not the only victim.
what's been said,
what's been done.
These lies, these lies
Who told this would destroy your life'

She's not yours
to kill, to steal, destroy
Who gave you the right to entitle what's black and white'
this is not, this is not your heart
don't take this lightly
beats softly but lonely
