The Ghost

from Clean Slate by Amanda Munro

/

lyrics

This is the longest I’ve been without talking to you
since the day we met,
Trying to make coffee in our French press for two
just for me


And I can’t take your towel off the rack yet

I’ll leave your toothbrush right where it is


I found the first note you wrote me,

I doubled over heavin,
A wounded animal screamin,

I love you and I’m leavin



Two years with you as close as my skin,
Every night you were there when I walked in

Woke up every mornin curled under your chin

Now you’ve walked out the door,
don’t even know where you’ve been and I’m 


Drowning, drowning

Yeah I’m drowning, drowning



This is the longest I’ve been without touching you
since the night we kissed

Can’t pass that door without thinking of your
lips on mine


And I can’t take down that picture of us

I’m haunting our house, the ghost of what was


I’m talking about you in the past tense

It doesn’t make any goddamn sense

I misplaced all my confidence,
Was I wrong or was it self defense?

Crying so hard I forget how to breathe,

Choking on all of our good memories

Don’t even know who I am when you’re not with me,
That’s the price that we pay for codependency and I’m 



Drowning, drowning,

Yeah I’m drowning, drowning



Because boundaries are the distance at which
I can love you and still love myself

Yeah boundaries are the distance at which
I can love you and still love myself


But I don’t love myself right now, I just want you back

I don’t love myself right now, I just want you back, want you back

I don’t love myself right now, I just want you back

I don’t love myself right now, I just want to take it all back
