Give Up the Ghost

© 1993, Lyrics and Music by Jason Didner


Objects in your rearview mirror
May look bigger than they really are
We're a million miles from yesterday
Why can't you just be glad we've come this far?

I know you still have deep regrets
You say we should have never grown apart
But I get so sad to hear those words
'Cause I know I just don't feel that
In my heart

Give up the ghost
That leads you to stand with your foot in the door
Give up the ghost
I don't want to haunt you in the night anymore
Just to know
I'm like a specter to you
Comes back through the dark
To haunt me too
Get over it
Please, snap out of it
Give up the ghost

When we forced our dreams upon each other
All we did was hold each other back
You denied my having second thoughts
You would not believe me when my bags were packed

I know you still have deep regrets
You're tending to your wounded sense of pride
But I get so sick to hear you say
We could have been tremendous if we tried

Give up the ghost
That leads you to stand with your foot in the door
Give up the ghost
I don't want to haunt you in the night anymore
Just to know
I'm like a shadow to you
Comes back through the dark
To haunt me too
Get over it
Please, snap out of it
Give up the ghost

Give up the ghost
That leads you to stand with your foot in the door
Give up the ghost
I don't want to haunt you in the night anymore
Just to know
I'm like a shadow to you
Comes back through the dark
To haunt me too
Get over it
Please, snap out of it
Give up the ghost
