Don't waste your energy

Count all your blessings carefully

Don't go chasin' ghosts

Don't want your sympathy

Don't want 'em comin' after me

Don't go chasin' ghosts

I've been standing in line a long time

Said he wanna be the greatest of all-time

Nothin' he wouldn't do to prove himself to you

And he knows that he's in for a long ride

Said he wouldn't hold it back anymore

He's gonna break down the door

Then try to hold it shut, hopin' he's gonna leave

And then settle the score

I don't forgive, I don't forget, I will not live life with regret

I hope you know, I've tried my best here, lately

I never wanted it to get the way it did there, at the end

I think, it's time, I lay my head down, baby

Don't waste your energy

Count all your blessings carefully

Don't go chasin' ghosts

Don't want your sympathy

Don't want 'em comin' after me

Don't go chasin' ghosts

You can feel the shift in the room

And they don't know what you're gonna do

You can feel the tension risin', like it's blowin' through the roof

I don't know what good it'd do, screamin' so hard, we'd turn blue

Don't know how much stronger this will get, already hundred proof

You only ever bring me pain, there ain't a measure I won't take

I will not let go of my soul you took

There ain't a bone that I won't break and twice won't be the same mistake

You won't survive with that bad attitude

Don't waste your energy

Count all your blessings carefully

Don't go chasin' ghosts

Don't want your sympathy

Don't want 'em comin' after me

Don't go chasin' ghosts

Don't go chasin' ghosts
