Song Lyrics

I've been losing myself beneath this, so much broken by the rain
Nothing can take my mind off how to make them pay
Give up myself to nothing, then the pain will go away
Losing myself to know this, I've been going away

If I could turn the hands of time
I would, but here I am

Tell me why am I still here when I'm so dead?
I am just a ghost of yesterday
Tell me why am I still trying to hold on?
Gotta turn it down to let it go

I do turn to keep on trying, but I spend it to the end
Knowing that there's no person for my rising side
I've buried again in evil, always the one who's left behind
I am the one who's standing, I will live to tell

If I could turn the hands of time, I would, but here I am, here I am

Tell me why am I still here when I'm so dead?
I am just a ghost of yesterday
Tell me why am I still trying to hold on?
Gotta turn it down to let it go

Tell me why I'm wasting away
Tell me how to be my own change
Cause I've been losing it too long
Tell me how to stand here and fight
Tell me how to face my own day
Cause I'm still standing

I'm still standing, such as a fighter
I've got to fight for all of it

Tell me why am I still here when I'm so dead?
I am just a ghost of yesterday

Tell me why am I still here when I'm so dead?
I am just a ghost of yesterday
Tell me why am I still trying to hold on?
Gotta turn it down to let it go
