Ghost of Me

Verse 1

Polished shoes on the tile

Checked the mirror for a while

New man in the glass today

But you look at me the old way

Washing off that bitter blame

Learning how to speak your name

Without a sting or a lie

Trying hard to catch your eye

Pre-Chorus

But you're staring at the wall

Waiting for the sky to fall

Counting up the debts I paid

Living in the mess I made

Chorus

You keep holding on to the ghost of me

Instead of loving the man I chose to be

Baby it's a new day

Why you looking back that way

Let it go

Please let it go

(Let it go)

Verse 2

Stopped the running in the street

Finding peace is bittersweet

Flowers on the kitchen shelf

Trying to outrun my former self

Hard to bloom when you won't rain

Still stuck inside that same old pain

Walking slow through the door

I ain't that boy anymore

Pre-Chorus

But you're staring at the wall

Waiting for the sky to fall

Counting up the debts I paid

Living in the mess I made

Chorus

You keep holding on to the ghost of me

Instead of loving the man I chose to be

Baby it's a new day

Why you looking back that way

Let it go

Please let it go

(Let it go)

Bridge

Look at my hands they are steady now

Look at my heart it is ready now

I'm standing in the light

But you're hiding in the night

Let the yesterday burn away

Please don't walk away

Chorus

You keep holding on to the ghost of me

Instead of loving the man I chose to be

Baby it's a new day

Why you looking back that way

Let it go

Please let it go

(Let it go)
