The ghost of you

The ghost of you Lyrics

I threw out the photographs
Like yesterday's flowers
I tried to erase the past
But it won't go away

And those were the curtains
That you had made
But one thing's for certain
The ghost of you stays

I painted the second room
And cleared out the basements
And smelled some of your perfume
On a scarf that you made

The Salvation Army collected your things
I gave them your jewellery
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 yesterday's 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
