The Ghost Inside Of Me Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

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 

And every road I could be taking 

Every dream I am forsaking 

And 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 

And 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 

And 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 

And down, down, it gets me down 

Every time I look around 

There is something haunting me 

Every tear that I'm not crying 

And every pain I am denying 

And 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
