Ghosts
Reason One Lyrics

We Held Our Breath
We were anxious and on edge

And Tried To Tow the Line
We tried to follow the rules and do what was expected of us

Now it's All a Memory
Those moments are in the past and cannot be relived

It's Getting Better All Time
Things are improving day by day

I'd Rather Change the World
I would prefer to make a positive impact on the world than just focus on my own emotions

Than How I Feel Inside
Rather than just dealing with my own feelings and struggles

You Had Your Mothers Broken Heart
You experienced your mother's heartache and pain

Your Fathers Laughing Eyes
But also the joy and happiness shared with your father

Now I Write Words Down for Ghost
Now I write out my feelings and memories hoping to somehow connect with lost loved ones

And I Couldn't Help But Notice
Despite my best efforts, it's hard not to realize the losses and changes that have occurred

Was That Just Goodbye
Did we really have to say farewell to each other

You Know I Couldn't Tell
I didn't have the words to express what I was feeling

A Heart That's made of Gold
Just because someone is kind and loving, doesn't mean they are immune to heartache and suffering

Doesn't Mean That it's For Sale
Their love and emotions are not up for grabs or negotiable

You Taught Me How to Love
You showed me how to care for others and feel deeply

And Set Me Up to Fail
But this also made me vulnerable to getting hurt and disappointed

Gave Me Prayers Without the Words
You offered comfort without needing to say anything

A Cross Without The Nails
A symbol of faith and sacrifice, but also lacking the full depth of its meaning and significance

And Let Me Go
Ultimately, you had to let me continue on my own journey

We Said We'd Try to Win
We made promises to each other to succeed and overcome challenges

Or We Would Lose it All
Or face great consequences if we failed

Left You In The Sunshine
I left you in good circumstances and brightness

But Missed You Most of Fall
But as the seasons changed, I began to feel the absence of your presence more strongly

And All Those Little Things That
The small details and moments that make life special

Seem to Take to Long
Now feel like they are taking too much time to pass

Said a Million Times I Loved You
I expressed my love to you many times

But Only in A Song
But that love was only able to be expressed through music

Now I Just Can't Find The Notes
Now I feel like I can no longer connect with those emotions or express myself properly

I'm Just Getting Fine Wont You Save Me Now
Despite the hardship, I still hope for rescue and help

It Was Enough to Make It Right
We did what we could to make things better

Just Not Enough to Save Your Life
But unfortunately it wasn't enough to prevent a tragic outcome

Was it Hard Enough to Know
Was it painful and difficult to process

That You Would Never Make it Home
That you would never return to your loved ones and the place you called home

I'm Just Getting Fine Wont You Save Me [x2]
Despite suffering, I am still striving for assistance and support

Yeah Yeah Yeah
An expression of emotion and almost a plea for acknowledgement

And Let Me Go
Despite love and care, we must eventually let go of each other
