I threw out the photographs Like yesterdays flowers I tried to erase the past But it won't go away I painted the second room And cleared out the basement And smelled some of your perfume On the scarf that you made The salvation army Collected your things I gave them the j**elry All the bracelets and rings Your clothes in black bin bags I gave them away I tried to move on
But the ghost of you stays The ghost of you stays The ghost of you stays I threw out the photographs Like yesterdays flowers I tried to erase the past But it won't go away I wake in the morning And try to be brave But it's hard to move on When the ghost of you stays Oh-oh-oh (x6) The ghost of you stays The ghost of you stays The ghost of you stays
