Ghost Of You
Selena Gomez · A Year Without Rain
Turn my back, to the door
Feel so much better now
Don't even try anymore
Nothing left to lose
There's a voice that's in the air
Saying don't look back no where
There's a voice that's always there
And I'll never be
Quite the same
As I was before this
Part of you still remains
Though it's out of focus
Your just somewhere that I've been
And I won't go back again
Your just somewhere that I've been
Breathing in
Breathing out
Ain't that what
Its all about
Livin life
Crazy loud
Like I have the right to
No more words in my mouth
Nothing left to figure out
But I don't think I'll ever break though
The ghost of you
And I'll never be like I was
The day I meet you
To naive, yes I was
Boy thats why I let you in
Wear your memory like a stain
Can't erase or numb the pain
Here to stay with me forever
Breathing in
Breathing out
Ain't that what
Its all about
Livin life
Crazy loud
Like I have the right to
No more words in my mouth
Nothing left to figure out
But I don't think I'll ever break though
The ghost of you
One of these days
I'll wake up from this bad dream I'm dreaming
One of these days
I pray that I'll be
Over over over you
One of these days I'll realize
That I'm so tired of feeling confused
But for now there's a reason
That you're still here in my heart
I'm breathing in I'm breathing out
Ain't that what it's all about
I'm living life crazy loud
Like I have the right to
No more words
In my mouth
Nothing left for me to doubt
But I don't think I'll ever break through
The ghost of you
Breathing in, breathing out
Breathing in, breathing out
Like I have the right to
No more words in my mouth
Nothing left to figure out
But I don't think I'll ever break through
The ghost of you
Feel so much better now
Don't even try anymore
Nothing left to lose
There's a voice that's in the air
Saying don't look back no where
There's a voice that's always there
And I'll never be
Quite the same
As I was before this
Part of you still remains
Though it's out of focus
Your just somewhere that I've been
And I won't go back again
Your just somewhere that I've been
Breathing in
Breathing out
Ain't that what
Its all about
Livin life
Crazy loud
Like I have the right to
No more words in my mouth
Nothing left to figure out
But I don't think I'll ever break though
The ghost of you
