I have waited patiently for your heart to call to me
   Across the great divide of the years that have slipped by
   All the long and lonely nights I lay bathed in pale moonlight
   Upon the bed we graced, now there's just a cold and empty space
   Even all my friends say it's time to let you go
   It is time to break the hold
  
   So I'm giving up the mention of your name
   And I'm giving up the vision of your face
   I'm forgiving us for letting go of love
   Giving up the one I want the most
   Giving up the ghost
  
   I don't search to find a cure, I don't do that anymore
   I learned to lay the blame on the strangers we became
   We were just one step away from a truth I couldn't face
   But I hoped against it all that our history would break our fall
   So I prayed for love to save us and I wished upon a star
   But you wished us far apart
  
   So I'm giving up the mention of your name
   And I'm giving up the vision of your face
   I'm forgiving us for letting go of love
   Giving up the one I want the most
   Giving up the ghost
  
   It's time to let you go
   And you tried to show me how
   Well I'm listening to you now
   Your silence sends a message clear and loud
  
   So I'm giving up
   Baby I'm giving you up
   I'm forgiving us for letting go of love
   Giving up the one I want the most
   I'm giving up the ghost
  
   I'm giving up the mention of your name
   And I'm giving up the vision of your face
   I'm forgiving us for letting go of love
   Giving up the one I want the most
   I'm giving up the ghost
   It's time to let you go
   I'm giving up the ghost
   It's time to let you go
   I'm giving up the ghost
