lyrics
You were still sleeping
When I walked out our front door
With just one last look back
And the bag I’d packed the night before
I drove a long long way
But there’s no place I’m going to
All of those miles I’ve rolled on
I was only circling ‘round you
I carry the ghosts of every heart I ever broke
I keep them right here in a pocket over my chest
And every time i close my eyes I can still hear their goodbyes
But of them all, I loved you the best
I carry the ghost
I still can see your face
And the way you wore your hair
I wish I could turn back home
And find you, still waiting there
But that was so long ago
You’re happy now, with someone new
These days seem to pass me by
But my mind still circles ‘round you
I carry the ghost of every heart I ever broke
I keep them right here in a pocket over my chest
And every time i close my eyes I can still hear their goodbyes
But of them all, I loved you the best.
Because I cannot forget your name
No it echoes in my veins
And the life I sought in leaving you
Well it all turned into pain
I wish I’d learned long ago
Half the things that I know now
Regret poisons everything
The years turn heavier as I go
I carry the ghost
When I walked out our front door
With just one last look back
And the bag I’d packed the night before
I drove a long long way
But there’s no place I’m going to
All of those miles I’ve rolled on
I was only circling ‘round you
I carry the ghosts of every heart I ever broke
I keep them right here in a pocket over my chest
And every time i close my eyes I can still hear their goodbyes
But of them all, I loved you the best
I carry the ghost
I still can see your face
And the way you wore your hair
I wish I could turn back home
And find you, still waiting there
But that was so long ago
You’re happy now, with someone new
These days seem to pass me by
But my mind still circles ‘round you
I carry the ghost of every heart I ever broke
I keep them right here in a pocket over my chest
And every time i close my eyes I can still hear their goodbyes
But of them all, I loved you the best.
Because I cannot forget your name
No it echoes in my veins
And the life I sought in leaving you
Well it all turned into pain
I wish I’d learned long ago
Half the things that I know now
Regret poisons everything
The years turn heavier as I go
I carry the ghost
