You never told me true love was gonna hurt
True pain I don't deserve
The truth is that I never learned
You never told me true love was gonna hurt
True pain I don't deserve
The truth is that I never learned
And I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that could wash all this pain
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
And it's your ghost
The ghost of you that keeps me awake
Oh, the ghost of you that keeps me
These eyes sitting on the wall
As they watch every move I make
Your cold heart makes my spirit shake
I had to go through hell
To prove that I am not insane
Had to meet the devil
Just to know his name
Just to know his name
And I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that could wash all this pain
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
And it's your ghost
The ghost of you that keeps me awake
Oh, it is the ghost of you that keeps me awake
So give up the ghost
Would you give up the ghost?
Just give up the ghost, yes
Stop your haunting baby
Give up the ghost
Would you give up the ghost?
Just give up the ghost, yes
Stop your haunting baby
Give up the ghost
Would you give up the ghost?
Just give up the ghost, yes
Stop your haunting baby
'Cause I keep going to the river to pray (Would you give up the ghost? Just give up the ghost)
'Cause I need something that could wash all this pain (Would you give up the ghost, yes? Stop your haunting baby)
And I keep going to the river to pray (Give up the ghost, would you give up the ghost?)
Cause I need something that could wash all this pain (Just give up the ghost, yes... Stop your haunting baby)
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that could wash all this pain
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
And it's your ghost
The ghost of you that keeps me awake
Oh, the ghost of you that keeps me awake
