The Ghost of You

I threw out the photographs

Like yesterdays flowers

I tried to erase the past

But it won't go awayI painted the second room

and cleared out the basement

and smelled some of your perfume

on the scarf that you madethe salvation army

collected your things

I gave them the jewelry

all the bracelets and ringsyour 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 staysI threw out the photographs

Like yesterdays flowers

I tried to erase the past

But it won't go awayI wake in the morning

And try to be brave

But it's hard to move on

When the ghost of you staysOh-oh-oh (x6)The ghost of you stays

The ghost of you stays

The ghost of you stays
