Give Up the Ghost

I've been falling fast through the trees

Tripping over the vines and the leaves

I'm done

Feels like we're both choking to breathe

Holdin' tight to a false memory

I'm done

We aim and shoot the breeze

Falsify the common things

Make no bones about it

I wish that we could make a change

Give up the ghost and walk away

Show ourselves that we can do without it

Once you know better, it's hard to retreat

Can't ignore how I feel, now I know what I need

It's you, it's you

Once you know better, it's hard to go back

Rather live in the present than hide in the past

With you, with you

I won't pretend you weren't more than a friend

And I won't ignore how it hurt at the end

I won't pretend you were more than a friend

And I won't ignore how it hurt at the end

I'm done

I'm done

Holding on by the skin of our teeth

Drag our heels in the dust till we bleed

I'm done

Nothing left for our egos to prove

Now we know there's too much to lose

I'm done

We'll find a flame within the freeze

Unlock the words, hear what we mean

Make no bones about it

Let's turn and face the strange

Give up the ghost and walk away

Show ourselves we can do without it

Once you know better, it's hard to retreat

And ignore how I feel, now I know what I need

It's you, it's you

Once you know better, it's hard to retreat

Rather live in the present than hide in the past

With you, with you

I won't pretend you weren't more than a friend

And I won't ignore how it hurt at the end

I won't pretend you weren't more than a friend

And I won't ignore how it hurt at the end

I'm done

I'm done

I'm done

I'm done

I'm done

I'm done

I'm done

I'm done

Once you know better, it's hard to retreat

And ignore how I feel, now I know what I need

It's you
