Ghost Of Me
I look in the mirror and what do I see
Staring back is my own reflection
The essence of the ghost of me
Seeking for protection
I need to let you go
I can’t keep you around forever
Even though you’re my ghost
Of a past I need to learn to recover
Let go of the past
Get off this winding road
Never gonna look back
Rid me of this pointless load
The ghost of me
Just accept the hands of fate
Always reminding me
The cards I was forced to play
The world has moved on
Except the emotional damage
I learned to become strong
Through time and time I’ve always managed
Move on
Just let it be
Be strong
And find your peace
