The Ghost Inside Of Me - Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

(John Stewart) Every prayer that I'm not praying and every promise I'm betraying Every price that I am paying, is like a ghost inside of me Every road I could be taking, every dream I am forsaking Every heart that's out there breaking, is like a ghost inside of me Look around, around, look around Every time I turn around I'm not who I ought to be Down, down, it gets me down Every time I look around There is something haunting me Every friend I am deserting and every danger I am flirting Every word that ends up hurting, is like a ghost inside of me Every heart I could be cheering and every love that I am fearing Every cry I am not hearing, is like a ghost inside of me Look around, around, look around Every time I turn around I'm not who I ought to be Down, down, it gets me down If every time I look around There is something haunting me Every tear that I'm not crying and every pain I am denying Every lie I'm justifying, is like a ghost inside of me Like a ghost inside of me Like a ghost inside of me Like a ghost inside of me Like a ghost inside of me
