Lyrics
Ghost Of A Good Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I guess it's luck, but it's the same
Hard luck, you've been trying to tame
Maybe it's love, but it's like you said,
"Love is like a role that we play."
But, I believe in you so much
I could die for the words that you say
But, I believe in you so much
I could die from the words that you say
But, you're chasin' the ghost of a good thing
Haunting yourself as the real thing
It's getting away from you again
While you're chasin' ghosts
Just bend the pieces til they fit
Like they were made for it
But, they weren't meant for this
No, they weren't meant for this
