giving up the ghost

there's a young girl lost

on the edge of town

don't see no future

it's blind

don't give up

when you're upside down

you just keep it inside. you know we all cry. when we're alone

someone like you

and the promise that we won't be

giving up the ghost

giving up the ghost

never you and i

giving up the ghost

giving up the ghost

we can never stop

giving up the ghost

don't be a hero

in the name of love

don't leave me waiting in line

no ties that bind

no ball and chain

the ghost is waiting outside

i'm searching so high

i'm searching low

someone like you

baby i'm not. giving up the ghost

giving up the ghost

never you and i

giving up the ghost

giving up the ghost

we can never stop

giving up the ghost

you know we all cry

when we are alone

someone like you

we know oh

i'm searching so high

i'm searching low

someone like you

we know oh

oh

oh

giving up the ghost

giving up the ghost

never you and i

giving up the ghost
