Unreachable Mercy

(ooh, yeah)

Your number's still on my phone screen

I trace the lines of where we should be

But you belong to someone else's space

And I'm left staring at an empty place

I know I shouldn't call you late

Locked outside of an iron gate (yeah)

Why do I want the one I can't touch

Why does a shadow hurt this much

I'm holding on to a ghost of us

Oh, it's a beautiful,

painful rush (it hurts so much)

Saw you laughing in the heavy rain

He pulled you close,

I felt the phantom pain

I had to turn my face and walk away

With nothing left but bitter things to say

Why do I want the one I can't touch

Why does a shadow hurt this much

I'm holding on to a ghost of us

Oh, it's a beautiful,

painful rush (yeah, yeah)

(just a ghost of us) (can't touch...)
