Chasing Ghosts Lyrics by Slaine

The Things We Can’t Forgive

2021

[Verse 1: Slaine]
I never thought it would be you
To make me feel the tug of the knife
Coming out my gut with you pulling it out
No, I thought you were the love of my life
And you were, it was not a dream
What we had was real, a beautiful thing
Beautiful souls, we both are
We both had come so far, just
Two people on a path from the wreckage of the past, seconds from a crash then
Putting pieces back in our lives, at the same time, strange how we matched then
Friеndship turned to understanding, turned to lovе, then to passion
Shaded from the rain, I related to your pain more than you can imagine
Back then, I could just get lost in your eyes
I saw that you were lost in the mind
Two lives crossed, intertwined, true love is such an awesome design
Created by the fates and we followed on the road
But tomorrow's never old, and you disappeared
Now I'm looking back where we coulda went and lost it in time
There's a hole from the bottom of my soul to the top 'cause it's ripped in half
I couldn't understand how forever love could ever make a shift this fast
You came back like the Ghost of Christmas Past
Say you love me still, then disappear again just as soon as Christmas passed

[Chorus: Rite Hook]
Chasing ghosts
Always the ones that I love the most
Where did you go and hide?
Have no fear, I'm right here
On the other side
Take my hand, fly away
Come with me

[Verse 2: Slaine]
It's been months I've spending, revolving but still evolving a little
At a time with this jigsaw puzzle, puzzled like I'm solving a riddle
I don't wanna get high over this shit, so I keep God in the middle
God in the middle, 'cause the devil's sitting on the fucking wall with the fiddle
And he plays the song that'll take me out sadly, that's just the truth for me
Everything that ever mattered to me, drugs took ruthlessly
I've been sober six years now, still remember how this shit used to be
But couldn't see in real time that that's what took you from me
Holy ghost, holy ghost, try to tell me something close to the truth
But the lies you would hide deep inside stole me most, stung me most
You and I, we were both on the same oath that one time
Now our stunning dose of reality is coming close to a close
And I'm only stunting growth
Don't suppose that you'll change any time soon 'cause you already went and chose what you chose
Chose what you chose, and if anybody knows how this goes
I was on that road, every low to my battered soul
Guess you gotta know for yourself what you gotta know
I just hope that you make it out alive
But in the meantime, I'll be right here waiting for you on the other side

[Chorus: Rite Hook] (x2)
Chasing ghosts
Always the ones that I love the most
Where did you go and hide?
Have no fear, I'm right here
On the other side
Take my hand, fly away
Come with me
