Ghost Lyrics by Safe Bet

What’s Left of This

2017

[Verse 1]
You held me captive
Confined to living in the shadow of your absence
Will I ever dig myself out of this mess?
I've got to clear my head
I know I have to
Try my best to find my footing here without you
I haven't walked on solid ground since you left
I'm wasting time again

[Chorus]
I'm holding hands with your ghost
And it’s telling me that I just need to
Take a deep breath and let you go
I can't keep holding on to what seems like thin air to you
I've just gotta learn to let this go

[Verse 2]
I've never felt so lost
Inside these circles in the ground that I can't step across
It feels like something weighs me down right on my chest
So lay me to rest
I never thought that this would hurt
But I'll just let my body burn
You might not be what I deserve, but you're what I want
Yeah, you're what I want

[Chorus]
I'm holding hands with your ghost
And it's telling me that I just need to
Take a deep breath and let you go
I can't keep holding on to what seems like thin air to you
I've just gotta learn to let this go

[Bridge]
All of my demons wear masks of your face
Your phantom still haunts me, I feel its embrace
All of my demons wear masks of your face
Your phantom still haunts me, I feel its embrace
All of my demons wear masks of your face
Your phantom still haunts me, I feel its embrace
All of my demons wear masks of your face
Your phantom still haunts me, I feel its embrace

[Outro]
I'm holding hands with your ghost
And it's telling me that I just need to
Take a deep breath and let you go
I can't keep holding on to you
Let you go
I can't keep holding on to you
Let you go
I can't keep holding on to you
Let you go
I can't keep holding on to you
Let you go
Let you go
