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 [x2]
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
Girl 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 [x2]
Give up the ghost Give up the ghost Give up the ghost No more haunting, baby
Give up the ghost Give up the ghost Give up the ghost Stop the 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 [x2]
