Your Ghost Lingers


Once upon a time
You blew in and out of my life
Like the force of a hurricane
Filling my heart with strife

I didn't think, I knew
All inhibitions thrown to the wind
Threw myself in head first
Not realizing it was so close to the end

Well it's been a long time now
 I've moved on to find
That skeletons live in closets
And your ghost lingers in my mind

It's not that I'm not over you, I am
But my search is forever fruitless
Remembering that knowing, that knowing
And never finding success

I don't know if it's me, or just your ghost
That leaves me expecting too much
The next one's got it hard
I'm just afraid of using you as my crutch

I know it's been a long time now
And I've moved on to find
That skeletons live in closets
And your ghost lingers in my mind

We had something special
That was something I believed
Though we came from different times and places
A true bond is what I thought we could achieve

But please don't worry
Please, don't feel bad
I'm truly good now
Just sometimes I think of good times we never had

I know it's been a long time now
And I've moved on, only to find
That skeletons live in closets
And your ghost lingers in my mind
Skeletons live in closets
And your ghosts lingers in my mind

Yeah your ghost still haunts me
It lingers, it just lingers
