She bowed on my window,
Laid their arms in a room.
Prayed to them I'd set you free,
And tonight you could be a ghost
Stumbling through the darkness,
So glad to be all alone.
Wasted hours might haunt still,
But she tries not to let it show.

You saw me on the tv,
Saw the life I chose.
Say you don't believe me
And you'll be glad it's in the show
Why don't you come up and see me?
We could be alone.
Wasted hours might haunt me still,
But I try not to let it show.

But all I ask is some forgiveness.
I was young and I did not understand.
Wonder why you would live
While I was sleeping.
Well, I know you're just trying to be the one
Now, it all looks the same to me.
You're body's painted with ghosts.
There were times I felt cheated, baby,
But in that, I'm not alone.

Sure, it ain't easy.
Don't do me no good to know.
Wasted hours might haunt me still,
But I try not to let it show
I know you're just trying to please your man.
