The Ghost of You - The Tears

I threw out the photographs

Like yesterdays flowers

I tried to erase the past

But it won’t go away

And those where the curtains

That you had made

One thing’s for certain

The ghost of you stays

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 jewelry

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

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

But it’s hard to move on

When the ghost of you stays

The ghost of you stays

The ghost of you stays

The ghost of you stays
