Your Ghosts
Letting Go of Ghosts: Chelsea Burns Unveils Heartfelt Reflections
Lyrics
I wonder what you’re thinking when you’re with me
I wonder about your thoughts when we're together.
If you’re still caught up in all your history
Questioning if you're still preoccupied with your past.
Cause I feel the distance
Sensing emotional distance.
And I keep wishing it away
Expressing a desire to eliminate the perceived distance.
I wonder what you’re thinking when you kiss me
Curiosity about your thoughts during intimate moments.
I can’t compete with ghosts you won’t let go of
Feeling unable to compete with unresolved issues from your past.
I can’t be the only one of us to show up
Acknowledging the imbalance in effort within the relationship.
I can’t reach you right in front of me
Difficulty in connecting with you despite physical proximity.
What’s in our way? Cause I can’t see
Uncertainty about obstacles in the relationship.
I can’t compete
Reiteration of inability to compete.
I can’t compete with your ghosts
Emphasizing the challenge of competing with your unresolved past.
So I’ll let go
Deciding to release the struggle and let go.
Are you missing her when you are alone?
Questioning if thoughts of someone else linger when alone.
Is she in your head when we’re on the phone?
Asking about the presence of another person in your mind during calls.
All these questions
Pose of various inquiries.
What’s your intention
Seeking clarity on your intentions.
Is she still around just in the shadows?
Wondering if another person is still part of your life discreetly.
I can’t compete with ghosts you won’t let go of
Reiteration of inability to compete with lingering issues.
I can’t be the only one of us to show up
Not being the sole contributor to the relationship.
I can’t reach you right in front of me
Struggling to reach emotional closeness despite physical proximity.
What’s in our way? Cause I can’t see
Expressing confusion about obstacles in the relationship.
I can’t compete
Restating the inability to compete.
I can’t compete with your ghosts
Highlighting the ongoing challenge of competing with unresolved issues.
So I’ll let go
Deciding to release the struggle and let go.
Of you
Letting go of the person.
Realize what I should do
Recognizing the need for self-realization.
Until you let go
Stating the impossibility of holding on until you release the past.
I can’t hold on to you
Inability to maintain a connection due to unresolved issues.
I can’t compete with ghosts you won’t let go of
Reiteration of the challenge in competing with lingering problems.
I can’t be the only one of us to show up
Acknowledging the unequal effort in the relationship.
I can’t reach you right in front of me
Struggling to establish a connection despite physical proximity.
What’s in our way? Cause I can’t see
Questioning the nature of obstacles in the relationship.
I can’t compete
Reiteration of the inability to compete.
I can’t compete with your ghosts
Emphasizing the ongoing challenge of competing with unresolved issues.
So I’ll let go
Deciding to release the struggle and let go.
