Ghosts in the Rain

Wrote this in the car on the way to work.. on the first sunny day out of the previous 40.. no joke.. another one that wrote itself..

i didnt hear the words you said
or at least i tried not to listen
they sounded so foreign to me
who says things that'll never be?

now i see what you didn't mean
or what you'd like to make it seem
while you hide from whats right
i hide away from us both at night

you build me up
you let me down
or you're just never around
don't think you've done this all
you're just the latest raindrop to fall
the story begins and ends the same
im always chasing ghosts in the rain

all you've said and what we've done
faded away when you turned to run
with yourself you're playing games
while im chasing shadows in the flames

you build me up
you let me down
or you're just never around
don't think you've done this all
you're just the latest raindrop to fall
look around you and share the shame
while I chase ghosts in the rain

"the sun is shining can't you see?"
but it feels like rain to me...

"the sun is shining can't you see?"
but it feels like rain to me...

"the sun is shining can't you see?"
it always feels like rain to me...
