Lyrics

Swirling all around you

Feeling surrounded by various emotions or memories

Now I don't know what to do

Expressing uncertainty about what actions to take

And I don't know how to feel inside

Confused about internal emotions

I wish I could get off this ride

Desire to break free from a challenging situation

Everything I do, everywhere I go

Encountering reminders of the past everywhere

I see a memory of what we used to know

Recalling memories from a previous relationship

I'm seeing ghosts everyday

Perceiving emotional remnants on a daily basis

They're no more real than the lies you used to say

Comparing the haunting memories to past lies

And I'm not scared for me

Expressing concern not for oneself but for the other person

I'm scared for you

Fearful for the well-being of the other person

But your ghosts won't let me be

Struggling to overcome the lingering memories

So maybe I'm dead too

Suggesting a metaphorical death due to emotional distress

And I tried and tried but I just can't hide

Unsuccessful attempts at concealing emotions

Wish I could sleep tonight

Desire for peace or relief through sleep

Everything I do, everywhere I go

Continued exposure to reminders of the past

I see a memory of what we used to know

Reiteration of memories from the past relationship

I'm seeing ghosts everyday

Ongoing experience of emotional remnants

They're no more real than the lies you used to say

Emphasizing the unreality of past deceptive statements

Can I escape?

Questioning the possibility of escaping the emotional turmoil

Well not today

Clarifying that escape is not possible in the current moment

And I still see them even though I moved away

Despite physical distance, memories persist

It's a bitter shade of gray

Describing the emotional state as a bitter and unpleasant color

And it leaves a bitter taste

Highlighting the negative impact of the emotional state

Everything I do, everywhere I go

Continued exposure to past memories

I see a memory of what we used to know

Recalling memories from the past relationship

I'm seeing ghosts everyday

Persistently experiencing emotional remnants

They're no more real than the lies you used to say

Reiterating the illusory nature of past deceitful words

Everything I do, everywhere I go

Repetition of the impact of past memories on current actions

Everything I do, everywhere I go

Further emphasizing the pervasive nature of memories

Everything I do, everywhere I go

Underlining the inescapability of past emotional experiences

Everything I do, everywhere I go

Continued repetition of the impact of memories

I'm seeing ghosts

Summary statement, still haunted by emotional remnants
