Lyrics
I have waited patiently for your heart to call to me
I patiently waited for your heart to reach out to me.
Across the great divide of the years that have slipped by
Over the years that have passed, bridging the gap between us.
All the long and lonely nights I lay bathed in pale moonlight
During the long and lonely nights, I reflected under the pale moonlight.
Upon the bed we graced, now there's just a cold and empty space
Our once-shared bed is now empty, a cold and vacant space remains.
Even all my friends say it's time to let you go
Even my friends suggest it's time to move on.
It is time to break the hold
It's time to release the emotional grip.
So I'm giving up the mention of your name
Abandoning the mention of your name.
And I'm giving up the vision of your face
Letting go of the mental image of your face.
I'm forgiving us for letting go of love
Forgiving both of us for relinquishing love.
Giving up the one I want the most
Accepting the loss of the person I desire the most.
Giving up the ghost
Consciously giving up the spirit of the relationship.
I don't search to find a cure, I don't do that anymore
No longer seeking a cure, avoiding placing blame, adapting to the changed nature of our connection.
I learned to lay the blame on the strangers we became
Attributing the fault to the strangers we've become.
We were just one step away from a truth I couldn't face
We were close to acknowledging a truth I couldn't confront.
But I hoped against it all that our history would break our fall
Hoping that our shared history would prevent our downfall.
So I prayed for love to save us and I wished upon a star
Praying for love to rescue us and relying on wishes.
But you wished us far apart
But your wish was for us to be apart.
So I'm giving up the mention of your name
Reiterating the decision to avoid mentioning your name.
And I'm giving up the vision of your face
Continuing to let go of the mental image of your face.
I'm forgiving us for letting go of love
Maintaining forgiveness for both of us letting go of love.
Giving up the one I want the most
Resigning to the loss of the person I desire the most.
Giving up the ghost
Consciously releasing the lingering presence of the relationship.
It's time to let you go
Acknowledging the need to move on.
And you tried to show me how
You attempted to guide me on how to proceed.
Well I'm listening to you now
Now, I am attentively listening to your guidance.
Your silence sends a message clear and loud
Your silence communicates a clear and loud message.
So I'm giving up
Final decision to give up.
Baby I'm giving you up
Expressing the difficulty of letting you go.
I'm forgiving us for letting go of love
Forgiving both of us for releasing the love we had.
Giving up the one I want the most
Letting go of the person I desire the most.
I'm giving up the ghost
Consciously relinquishing the lingering essence of the relationship.
I'm giving up the mention of your name
Avoiding any mention of your name.
And I'm giving up the vision of your face
No longer holding onto the mental image of your face.
I'm forgiving us for letting go of love
Forgiving both of us for the decision to let go of love.
Giving up the one I want the most
Resigned to losing the person I desire the most.
I'm giving up the ghost
Consciously releasing the remaining influence of the relationship.
It's time to let you go
It's time to accept and let go.
I'm giving up the ghost
Concluding the process of giving up the emotional remnants of the relationship.
It's time to let you go
Accepting the finality of letting you go.
I'm giving up the ghost
Complete surrender, giving up the emotional remnants of the relationship.
