There's a young girl lost 
On the edge of town 
Don't see no future, it's blind 
Don't give up 
When you're upside down 
You just keep it inside... 

You know we all cry... 
When we're alone 
Someone like you 
And the promise that we won't be 

Giving up the ghost 
Giving up the ghost 
Never you and I 
Giving up the ghost 

Giving up the ghost 
We can never stop 
Giving up the ghost 

Don't be a hero 
In the name of love 
Don't leave me waiting in line 
No ties that bind 
No ball and chain 
The ghost is waiting outside 

I'm searching so high 
I'm searching low 
Someone like you 
Baby I'm not... 

Giving up the ghost 
Giving up the ghost 
Never you and I 
Giving up the ghost 

Giving up the ghost 
We can never stop 
Giving up the ghost 

You know we all cry 
When we are alone 
Someone like you 
We know oh, 
I'm searching so high 
I'm searching low 
Someone like you 
We know oh, oh, oh 

Giving up the ghost 
Giving up the ghost 
Never you and I 
Giving up the ghost
