the ghost inside of me
Every prayer that I'm not praying, and every promise I'm betraying Every price that I am paying, is like a ghost inside of me Every road I could be taking, every dream I am forsaking Every heart that's out there breaking, is like a ghost inside of me  Look around, around, look around Every time I turn around I'm not who I ought to be Down, down, it gets me down Every time I look around There is something haunting me  Every friend I am deserting, and every danger I am flirting Every word that ends up hurting, is like a ghost inside of me Every heart I could be cheering, and every love that I am fearing Every cry I am hearing, is like a ghost inside of me  Look around, around, look around Every time I turn around I'm not who I ought to be Down, down, it gets me down Every time I look around There is something haunting me  Every tear that I'm not crying, and every pain I am denying Every lie I'm justifying, is like a ghost inside of me Like a ghost inside of me Like a ghost inside of me Like a ghost inside of me
