[Chorus]
I keep going to the river to pray
Cause I need
Something that can wash all the pain
And at most
I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost
The ghost of you it keeps me awake
My friends had you figured out
Yeah they saw what's inside of you
Trying to hide in another you
But your evil is coming through
These guys sitting on the wall
They watch every move I make
Bright light living in the shade
You go hard makes the spirit shake
I had to go through hell to prove
I'm not insane
Had to meet the devil just to know his name
And that's where my love was burning
Yeah it's still burning
[2x Chorus]
Each time that I think you go
I turn around and you're creeping in
And I let you under my skin
Cause I love living innocent
Boy you never told me
True love was going to hurt
True pain that I don't deserve
Truth is that I never learn
[2x Chorus]
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Stop the haunting baby
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
No more haunting baby
I keep going to the river
[2x Chorus]
