If you've ever been haunted, by love that won't go away

You know your head keeps all the reminders, of what meant to say

Inside I'm a jumble of emotions and I try not let it show

Some days I don't want you to see me like this, but on others I want you to know

This is the 23rd of loneliness

How long 'til I can lay this ghost to rest

This is the 23rd of missing you

You always were the one who helped me through

This is the 23rd of loneliness

How did we end up being world's apart, when you're just a street away

And your best friend made out, she didn't notice me, in the 7-11 today

I write a letter to you every night, but the words just come out wrong

One half of me wants to turn back te clock and the other wants to move on

This is the 23rd of loneliness

How long 'til I can lay this ghost to rest

This is the 23rd of missing you

You always were the one who helped me through

This is the 23rd of loneliness

Some days I think I'm over you, but I'm only fooling myself, yeah, yeah

'cause the times I go to sleep at night, I see you there with some other guy

Ooh, oh, oh, oh

This is the 23rd of loneliness

How long 'til I lay this ghost to rest

This is the 23rd of missing you

You always were the one who helped me through

This is the 23rd of loneliness

How long until the pain will hurt me less
