I do believe in ghosts I think they live in us Our yearn for apologies for some colossal hurt I believe in ghosts And how they haunt us all I've tried and tried to move on from mine, but they follow where I go My formative years might as well have been a mausoleum All the unkind words to such a quiet kid Who wanted more than anything to just fit in I still remember the names of the boys and girls with hateful eyes And although I could sing them for poetic justice They taste like ashes and won't carry a song They belong to the wind now I do believe in ghosts I think they live in us Our yearn for apologies for some colossal hurt I believe in ghosts And how they haunt us all I've tried and tried to move on from mine, but they follow where I go I've tried to build bridges when no one would meet me across them Bent and broke my back trying to keep the peace Busy putting out fires while they poured gasoline These last ten years have been nothing less than metamorphosis I've grown braver and louder and taken my space back From those who would have me silently disappear But I'm still fucking here I do believe in ghosts I think they live in us Our yearn for apologies for some colossal hurt I believe in ghosts And how they haunt us all I've tried and tried to move on from mine, but they follow where I go I've tried and tried to move on from mine but they follow where I go I do believe in ghosts, I do believe in ghosts And they follow where I go, yeah, they follow where I go
