What's it like where you are?
Are you living inside someone else's heart?
Thanks for giving me
All that you could
But still I'm wondering
If I even understood

What you wanted, what you said
Can you speak beyond the dead?
There's still so much we have to do
But all I have now
Is the ghost of you

I keep on living, but not like before
I still smell your perfume, I still hear you pace the floor
There are so many things
I never got to say
And I don't want to be selfish
But I need you to stay

I still see you, standing in the hallway
I still hear you, singing the night away
Tell me, who I am, what to do
I'd have unending conversations
With the ghost of you

Dear God I'm sorry for all I couldn't be
And I know you're still right next to me
It hurts, but I know that you can't stay
So go on, fly away
To a more peaceful view
And I'll always remember
The ghost of you

I feel your lips touch mine
Just for one last time
I hear you softly say you love me
And that you'll always be right above me
No matter where you go, no matter where you are
Forever you'll live on inside my heart
A love like ours is forever true
So I'll always have the ghost of you
