Not the Ghost -

Oh, turn your lamps down low

Keep the light so dim that you can’t see

What’s out there ahead of you

My dear, there are secrets here

I will carry them home

Carry them home

If only I could break the chain of disappointments

Weighing me down

Shake off the ghosts that whisper warnings

Whenever you’re not around

I won’t be afraid

Of all the things I’ve wanted

It’s the fear, and not the ghost

That leaves me haunted, haunted

See what a life you lead:

You’re an anchor for all the heaviest

Regrets inside of you

Escape;

we collect mistakes

I will carry them home

Carry them home

If only I could break the chain of disappointments

Weighing me down

Shake off the ghosts that whisper warnings

Whenever you’re not around

I won’t be afraid

Of all the things I’ve wanted

It’s the fear, and not the ghost

That leaves me haunted, haunted
