Your Ghost…(été un)

I never felt so low
Falling into despair
Regretting what was lost
I gave into my fear
I learned to live with the pain
Accepted all the blame
But when I let you go, I regained my way
I watched the clouds disappear
And the grey dissipate with the fear
Revealing the promise of a new hope
I can hear the whispers of truth in the air

I know that you won't, won't ever return to me
So, I'll have to move along
And I'll keep you alive in the safe of a memory
Rebuilding what was lost

Restore our past, so the future can move ahead
Renew our faith, to breathe new life again
I never thought I'd feel
Feel this alive again
Accepting loss for hope
Instilling faith within
The flame ignited
Creating a light
Our beacon
In the dark of the night

I know that you won't, won't ever return to me
So, I'll have to move along
And I'll keep you alive in the safe of a memory
Rebuilding what was lost
I am free now the guilt has faded away
I'm reborn to build a new day
And I'll keep you alive in the safe of a memory

I had to let you go
To find a peace I searched for so blindly
Erasing all the shame and all the guilt
That's found its way to destroy me
(Now I feel alive)
A moment removed from my mind
Reviving a joy that I thought died
(And now I feel awake)
Anticipating the dream of relief
Releasing the demons controlling me

I know that you won't, won't ever return to me
So, I'll have to move along
And I'll keep you alive in the safe of a memory
Rebuilding what was lost
I am free now the guilt has faded away
I'm reborn to build a new day
And I'll keep you alive in the safe of a memory
