Story behind the song
You might think this one's about a love relationship gone sour, but it's not (Of course it can apply that way if it helps tell your story!)
Lyrics
Objects in the rear-view mirror May look bigger than they really are We're a million miles from yesterday Why can't you just be glad we've come this far? I know you still have deep regrets You say we should have never grown apart But I get so sad to hear those words Cause I know I just don't feel that in my heart Chorus: Give up the ghost That leads you to stand with your foot in the door Give up the ghost I don't want to haunt you in the night anymore Just to know I'm like a specter to you Comes back through the dark to haunt me too Get over it Please snap out of it Give up the ghost When we forced our dreams upon each other All we did was hold each other back You denied my having second thoughts You could not believe me when my bags were packed I know you still have deep regrets You're tending to your wounded sense of pride But I get so sick to hear you say We could have been amazing if we tried Chorus: Give up the ghost That leads you to stand with your foot in the door Give up the ghost I don't want to haunt you in the night anymore Just to know I'm like a spectre to you Comes back through the dark to haunt me too Get over it Please snap out of it Give up the ghost
