Lyrics

Giving Up the Ghost

I have waited patiently for your heart to call to me
Across the great divide of the years that have slipped by
All the long and lonely nights I lay bathed in pale moonlight
Upon the bed we graced, now there's just a cold and empty space
Even all my friends say it's time to let you go
It is time to break the hold
So I'm giving up the mention of your name
And I'm giving up the vision of your face
I'm forgiving us for letting go of love
Giving up the one I want the most
Giving up the ghost
I don't search to find a cure, I don't do that anymore
I learned to lay the blame on the strangers we became
We were just one step away from a truth I couldn't face
But I hoped against it all that our history would break our fall
So I prayed for love to save us and I wished upon a star
But you wished us far apart
So I'm giving up the mention of your name
And I'm giving up the vision of your face
I'm forgiving us for letting go of love
Giving up the one I want the most
Giving up the ghost
It's time to let you go
And you tried to show me how
Well I'm listening to you now
Your silence sends a message clear and loud
So I'm giving up
Baby I'm giving you up
I'm forgiving us for letting go of love
Giving up the one I want the most
I'm giving up the ghost
I'm giving up the mention of your name
And I'm giving up the vision of your face
I'm forgiving us for letting go of love
Giving up the one I want the most
I'm giving up the ghost
It's time to let you go
I'm giving up the ghost
It's time to let you go
I'm giving up the ghost
