Ghost Oliver Nelson Remix by Ella Henderson Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh, give up
Ooh, give up
Ooh, give up
Ooh, give up
[Chorus]
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake (give up)
[Verse 1]
My friends had you figured out
Yeah they saw what's inside of you
You tried hiding another you
But your evil was coming through (give up)
These eyes sitting on the wall
They watch every move I make
Bright light living in the shade
Your cold heart makes my spirit shake (give up)
[Pre-Chorus]
I had to go through hell to provе I'm not insane
Had to meet the devil (givе up) just to know his name
And that's when my love (give up) was burning
Yeah it's still burning
[Chorus]
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake (give up)
[Post-Chorus]
(Give up) Give up the ghost, give up the ghost
(Give up) Give up the ghost, stop the haunting baby
(Give up) Give up the ghost, give up the ghost
(Give up) Give up the ghost, no more haunting baby
[Verse 2]
Each time that I think you go
I turn around and you're creeping in
And I let you under my skin
'Cause I love living innocent
Oh, you never told me
True love was gonna hurt
True pain I don't deserve
[Chorus]
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
[Drop]
Give up, give up
Give up, give up
[Chorus]
(Give up) I keep going to the river to pray
(Give up) 'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
(Give up) And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
(Give up) But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
(Give up) I keep going to the river to pray
(Give up) 'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
(Give up) And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
(Give up) But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
[Outro]
(Going to the river)
Ooh, give up
Ooh, give up
Ooh, give up
Ooh, give up
