Give Up the Ghost

I'm done falling fast through the trees Tripping over the vines and the leaves I'm done Feels like we're both choking to breathe Holdin' tight to a false memory I'm done We aim and shoot the breeze Falsify the common things Make no bones about it I wish that we could make a change Give up the ghost and walk away Show ourselves that we can do without it Once you know better, it's hard to retreat Can't ignore how I feel, now I know what I need It's you, it's you Once you know better, it's hard to go back Rather live in the present than hide in the past With you, with you I won't pretend you weren't more than a friend And I won't ignore how it hurt at the end I won't pretend you were more than a friend And I won't ignore how it hurt at the end I'm done I'm done Holding on by the skin of our teeth Dragging heels in the dust 'til we bleed I'm done Nothing left for our egos to prove Now we know there's too much to lose I'm done Find a flame within the freeze Unlock the words, say what we mean Make no bones about it Let's turn and face the strange Give up the ghost and walk away Show ourselves we can do without it Once you know better, it's hard to retreat Can't ignore how I feel, now I know what I need It's you, it's you Once you know better, it's hard to go back Rather live in the present than hide in the past With you, with you I won't pretend you were more than a friend And I won't ignore how it hurt at the end I won't pretend you were more than a friend And I won't ignore how it hurt at the end I'm done I'm done I'm done I'm done I'm done I'm done I'm done I'm done Once you know better, it's hard to retreat Can't ignore how I feel, now I know what I need It's you
