Story Behind The Song

Took a gal for granted . I soon found out if you do that they don't stay long.

Song Description

A lesson learned, the hard way.

Lyrics

Only A Ghost Survived
verse 1
Stupid moves became my norm
Did most of the wrong things that cause love harm.
Never beleived the love from her would end.
It was quickly dying from my refusal to bend
The worried & hurt look should gave me warning
I was on the verge of a Black day dawning
Chorus
There I sat a schocked man
I saw the hate in her eyes and thought this is bad.
she was mourning a dead man who was still alive.
And when she was done only a Ghost survived.
Verse 2
In the last 10 years I've seen her a few times
She stands and looks like I'm an old dusty book
Here's one cover She'd never open again
I know who she is, but I can't say a word
If I could speak "Sorry" is all she'd hear.
Then I flash back to that black day dawning.
CHORUS Bridge
My new wife tells me I love the man that you are. Everythngs right in this marriage of ours.
damn right it is, It almost killed me to learn,
when temptation hits me I looked back on that black day that dawned.
CHORUS 2WCE
