The Ghost

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I know I'm living, but I feel numb

Up high one minute, then memories come

And no matter what I do, I can't escape

When the ghost of you still haunts me everyday

You're the door that slams behind me

And you're the morning light that blinds me

Every thought and every feeling

You were always in control, even now, you're taking hold

So if you loved me, then drift into the night

Set me free from the past, let me move on

Like shooting stars, we can pass each other by

I need you gone

I see your face when I close my eyes

Keep reaching out for your hand when I can't sleep

A thousand memories that haunt my mind

Spirits and shadows remind me I'm not alone

They tell me that I need time and space

But no one could ever take your place

So, my angel, this is goodbye

It's time that I give up the ghost

Spent too long on this roller coaster

Maybe I, I just need some closure

My butterfly, won't you flutter right out of my life?

You're the door that slams behind me ('hind me)

And you're the morning light that blinds me

(That blinds me) every thought and every feeling

You were always in control, even now, you're taking hold

So if you loved me, then drift into the night

Set me free from the past, let me move on (move on)

Like shooting stars, we can pass each other by

I need you gone (need you gone)

I see your face when I close my eyes (oh, oh)

Keep reaching out for your hand when I can't sleep (yeah)

A thousand memories that haunt my mind

Spirits and shadows remind me I'm not alone

They tell me that I need time and space

But no one could ever take your place

So, my angel, this is goodbye

It's time that I give up the ghost

Yeah, spent too long in the dark

Now I gotta break free

Time to bury the past, I've got to

Learn to be me without you

This time, I'm cutting you loose

I see your face when I close my eyes

Keep reaching out for your hand when I can't sleep

A thousand memories that haunt my mind

It's time that I give up the ghost, oh-whoa

They tell me that I need time and space

But no one could ever take your place

So, my angel, this is goodbye

It's time that I give up the ghost
