I have waited patiently for your heart to call to me Across the great divide of the years that have slipped by All the long and lonely nights I lay bathed in pale moonlight Upon the bed we graced, now there's just a cold and empty space Even all my friends say it's time to let you go It is time to break the hold So I'm giving up the mention of your name And I'm giving up the vision of your face I'm forgiving us for letting go of love Giving up the one I want the most Giving up the ghost I don't search to find a cure, I don't do that anymore I learned to lay the blame on the strangers we became We were just one step away from a truth I couldn't face But I hoped against it all that our history would break our fall So I prayed for love to save us and I wished upon a star But you wished us far apart So I'm giving up the mention of your name And I'm giving up the vision of your face I'm forgiving us for letting go of love Giving up the one I want the most Giving up the ghost It's time to let you go And you tried to show me how Well I'm listening to you now Your silence sends a message clear and loud So I'm giving up Baby I'm giving you up I'm forgiving us for letting go of love Giving up the one I want the most I'm giving up the ghost I'm giving up the mention of your name And I'm giving up the vision of your face I'm forgiving us for letting go of love Giving up the one I want the most I'm giving up the ghost It's time to let you go I'm giving up the ghost It's time to let you go I'm giving up the ghost
