A Toast To Your Ghost Lyrics

You used to love to hear me sing

Just a love song or Two

You claimed to love every one, but the songs become no fun

When I finally get to write one about you

It's not what you're expecting, but I'll see what I can do

And I'm sorry I can't be the person you want of me

Was it worth it to try

If I promised you everything, that wouldn't change a thing

You're still gone

I'll raise a glass to the past, to a world where I won't go back

So here's a toast, a toast to your ghost

You had my heart, you had my love

Both under an iron key and a latch

Forgive my uncouth pun, but how'd I know you'd be the one

To pour the gas and slyly light the match

Watch those ashes burning, you're burning all that's in your path

And I'm sorry I can't be the person you want of me

Is it worth it to try

If I promised you everything, that wouldn't change a thing

You've made the burden now mine

I'll raise a toast to your ghost, when your memories haunt me the most

So here's a toast, a toast to your

Ghost, I can still feel you here

A malignant apparition, one who prays on my fears

And, ghost, all I ask is some reprieve.

You can take my heart, but not my mind - not completely

Go boast to everyone we know, make a fool out of me

Just recall you're not so innocent, this was to suit your needs

Either pay the rent to live in my head, or take your things and leave

Now I'm finally through with these thoughts of it, you got what you want

Time for some other sucker to pay the host to your haunt

I hope they give you all the joy, the pain, the life that you crave

I'll raise my drink to my last song for you, now get in your grave
