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
