[Verse 1]
Summer's ended and without a trace
Time goes by while you remain
Funny how I thought I walked on through
With my heart in one

[Chorus]
Why do I still cry for you?
Dying to get close to you
Why do I still fear to face the ghost of you?

[Verse 2]
How I tried to get you off my mind
But you return all the time
I believed I could just let you go
Like the fool I am

[Chorus]
Baby, why do I still cry for you?
Dying to get close to you
Oh, baby, why do I still fear to face the ghost of you?

[Bridge]
I've been trying to release you
To get my feet back on the ground
Still I need my hope to hold on to
Even if I know I should back away
It's just a part of me that I can't erase, hey
[Chorus]
Baby, why do I still cry for you?
Dying to get close to you
Oh, baby, why do I still fear to face the ghost of you?

[Post-Chorus]
(Baby, baby, why?)
Anyway I try, I'm still reminded (The ghost of you)
Anywhere I go, I keep colliding with (The ghost of you)
I've given up, I just can't fight it (The ghost of you)
Of you

[Outro]
Every time I look away, I see
The ghost of you
