I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
My friends had you figured out
Yeah, they saw what's inside of you
You tried hiding another you
But your evil is coming through
These eyes sitting on the wall
They watch every move I make
Bright light living in the shade
Your cold heart makes the spirit shake
I had to go through hell
To prove I'm not a saint
And to meet the devil
Just to know his name
And that's when my love was burning
Yeah, it's still burning
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
Each time that I think you're gone
I turn around and you're creeping in
And I let you under my skin
'Cause I love living in the sin
Oh you never told me
True love was gonna hurt
True pain I don't deserve
Truth is that I never learned
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Stop the haunting, baby
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
No more haunting, baby
I keep going to the river
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
