There was a girl who used to live here Sometimes you still can hear her laugh See her planting in the garden See her soaking in the bath But you let her beauty go unnoticed You let her music go unheard You should have listened when she told you You should have hung on every word Now I'm a ghost, I haunt this house And wait for love to lift this shroud Take these withered dreams and let 'em go I'm a ghost, I'm what remains I walk these halls and curse these chains And think about the things I loved the most I'm a ghost If I was looking for redemption
Well, I know it isn't here And I won't hang around forever So you can watch me disappear So now I'm stuck here in this limbo Waiting for my soul's release Maybe a garden of my own somewhere Where I can find a little peace It's much too late for blame But would it have k**ed you to say my name? I'm a ghost, I haunt this house And wait for love to lift this shroud Take these withered dreams and let 'em go I'm a ghost, I'm what remains I walk these halls and curse these chains And think about the things I loved the most I'm a ghost
