Hey, I've got to talk to you,
Before you finally let something slip.
I've really thought this through,
I promise you won't see me with a trembling lip.
I've known many ghosts in my time,
And you are the only one I could truly see.
But if I'm chasing ghosts when will I shine?
So I've decided to be true to me.
It may be selfish but I've got dreams,
And to reach them I've got to think about myself.
It breaks my heart to see the tear in your eye as it gleams.
But I put all thoughts of you tucked away on a shelf.
I couldn't confront what I was feeling,
I can see that now.
The thoughts sent my mind reeling,
But now that I see, these thoughts bow.
They curtsy for the possibilities,
They respect what could have been.
They are making way for new opportunities,
To prevent that would be a sin.
I've known many ghosts in my time,
And you are the only one I could truly see.
But if I'm chasing ghosts when will I shine?
I've come to let you know before your hopes are too high.
And this is the final truth it is no lie:
I've decided to be true to me.
Tru
Ly.
