the ghost inside of me

Singer:nanci griffith

every prayer that i'm not praying and every promise i'm betraying

every price that i am paying

is like a ghost inside of me

every road i could be taking

every dream i am forsaking

every heart that's out there breaking

is like a ghost inside of me

look around

around

look around

every time i turn around

i'm not who i ought to be

down

down

it gets me down

every time i look around

there is something haunting me

every friend i am deserting and every danger i am flirting

every word that ends up hurting

is like a ghost inside of me

every heart i could be cheering and every love that i am fearing

every cry i am not hearing

is like a ghost inside of me

look around

around

look around

every time i turn around

i'm not who i ought to be

down

down

it gets me down

if every time i look around

there is something haunting me

every tear that i'm not crying and every pain i am denying

every lie i'm justifying

is like a ghost inside of me

like a ghost inside of me

like a ghost inside of me

like a ghost inside of me

like a ghost inside of me
