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
