nanci griffith - the ghost inside of me lyrics

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
every road i could be taking, every dream i am forsaking
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
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
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 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
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
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
