Oh lord, I'm living, in the past
My future, my future's coming fast
I try to keep going, but I know it'll never last
'Cause I'm living, living in the past

And it's hard to let go when you're chasing a ghost
And the dark runs into the light
Almost believed, why couldn't we be
Steady, like tides in the night
We could have been right

I wanted something, I wanted it bad
I wanted something, I just couldn't have
Now that I know, can't give it back
The weight, was more, than I could stand

And it's hard to let go when you're chasing a ghost
And the dark runs into the light
Almost believed, why couldn't we be
Steady, like tides in the night
We could have been right

And it's hard to let go when you're chasing a ghost
And the dark runs into the light
Almost believed, why couldn't we be
The best thing, in our lives

And it's hard to let go when you're chasing a ghost
And the dawn is dragging you down
Almost believed, why couldn't we be
Steady, like tides in the night
We could have been right
