"Ghost"

I keep going to the river to pray

'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain

And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away

But your ghost, the ghost of you

It keeps me awake

My friends had you figured out

Yeah, they saw what's inside of you

You tried hiding another you

But your evil was coming through

These eyes sitting on the wall

They watch every move I make

Bright light living in the shade

Your cold heart makes my spirit shake

I had to go through hell to prove I'm not insane

Had to meet the devil just to know his name

And that's when my love was burning

Yeah, it's still burning

2x:

I keep going to the river to pray

'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain

And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away

But your ghost, the ghost of you

It keeps me awake

Each time that I think you go

I turn around and you're creeping in

And I let you under my skin

'Cause I love living in the sin

Boy you never told me

True love was going to hurt

True pain I don't deserve

Truth is that I never learn

2x:

I keep going to the river to pray

'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain

And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away

But your ghost, the ghost of you

It keeps me awake

Give up the ghost

Give up the ghost

Give up the ghost

Stop the haunting baby

Give up the ghost

Give up the ghost

Give up the ghost

No more haunting baby

I keep going to the river

2x:

I keep going to the river to pray

'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain

And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away

But your ghost, the ghost of you

It keeps me awake
