 <\/p>\n

Can you see me?
\nDo you know who I am?
\nI am the ghost
\nwalking along these streets.
\nMy face is on the wall.<\/p>\n

I am one of the disappeared.
\nI am lost in the crowd.
\nI’m nowhere near the light.
\nI’m gone.<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\n<\/strong>But I’m alive!
\nI’m here
\nfor all the world to see,
\nbut won’t you see me?
\nWon’t you know me?
\nKnow I’m alive.<\/p>\n

So many times
\nthat I wanted to disappear
\nuntil the day that I finally did,
\nand so many days
\ndid I feel lost inside,
\ngone away from this world.<\/p>\n

And all I ever wanted
\nwas to return to you.
\nAnd all I ever wanted
\nwas to come back.
\nI wanted to return,
\nbut I was gone,
\ngone away.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chorus:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bridge:
\n<\/strong>I never wanted to disappear.
\nI just wanted to leave for awhile.
\nI wanted to come home,
\ncome back to you.
\nI never wanted to disappear.
\nHe took me far away,
\nfar away from you.
\nWill you look for me?
\nFind me on the wall.
\nWill you remember me?
\nRemember that I once stood beside you.
\nWill you know
\nthat I am alive?<\/p>\n

Chorus: (repeat twice)<\/strong><\/p>\n
