the ghost in you

lyrics by Justin Greer


Lately I have cried,
thinking i could ease your pain.
Lie in bed till 3 a.m. and listen to the rain.
and thinking about me and you, how'd you'd love me always,
but now were through.
Oh, i guess i forgot even one raindrop could make me drown.
I fell so fast but eventually i guess you have to hit the ground.
And all i have left of you and myself are ghosts and a letter from you.
Well that letters been through a few rainstorms and the ink is fading through...
and turning my heart blue.


So I kill myself to find the ghost in you
No big sacrifice, I'd do it again if I had to.
so, come back home.
so, come back home.
just come back home. but i forget..
your already there.

i walk these streets of forgiveness,
but you're not there.
it seems that no one really comes here anymore.
i guess they got caught in their own rainstorm
probably drowned in their own tears.
I need you more than i ever thought i would,
my heart is breaking faster than i thought it could.
hey now, what's that in in your eye.
you hold back your tears when you know your about to die.
Jesus didn't come for nothing i always say
and it's a scary thing when loves just a game we play,
forgive and forget doesn't come out so simply
while your eyes are raining memories of your enemies.

Chorus:

Oh, am i crying over you,
or just your memory, well i guess it don't matter
cause i'm crying and it's all the same to me
And i just wish you knew,
i wish you could see
what this has done to me
sometimes i get quiet, and i can't make a sound.
sometimes i feel empty inside,
like my whole heart weighs about an ounce.

and i remember when life felt simple,
had nothing but Jesus on my mind
but things change, things come in between,
lately all the time
And i just don't wanna live this way.
i'm tired of dying everyday.
so i get down on my knees and pray
Lord take my pain away.
but for some reason it doesn't leave.
cause there's something i'm holding on to.
i wish it was you.
I just don't know what to let go of, i can't let go of love.

Chorus:

Everything seemed fine until Wednesday night.
i guess more faded that day than just the light
i must have got too close, she must have got to scared.
afraid she might start caring.
i don't know but those beautiful blue eyes are staring
right through my bleeding heart
and Melanie's tearing me apart.
I want to tell her everything that's anything
but don't know where to start.
she looks at me, she can see i'm dying
and i can tell she's been crying.
i guess we been doing a little bit of both.
where's she now?
man, i don't know, but i wish i did.
and things like this wander through my mind all night.
Oh, Melanie sleep tight, live in the light.
maybe i can come home soon,
but first i got to find this ghost,
the ghost in myself.
i gotta find the ghost in you
i'll love you again if i get the chance to.
and i just wanna come back home,
i just need to come home, where you are.

(for Melanie)
