Lyrics

Back when you left the veil was so thin
I didn’t doubt that I’d see you again
I didn’t doubt that your voice would come through
’cause often our spirits were talking
But now and then that feeling comes on
So much has changed since you’ve been gone
I’m not as sure how to fit you
So now my spirit is calling
Haunt me, tear me anew
Yes, that broken part inside of my heart
I keep it
It’s how I keep you
Haunt me, bring me to you
If the pain comes when you visit, then I’ll let it
So I can keep you
I think of you as my friendly ghost
Unfinished business that’s yours and mine both
Unfinished business, the grief in my soul
The love that needs to be given
It’s not that I am looking for pain
I simply know that there’s an exchange
Sorrow sometimes is the price to be paid
The love it costs to keep living
