Give Up The Ghost

I WILL

It’s not the end of the world
It’s not even over, but it will be soon
I never learn my lessons, I just change my tune
And no one seems to notice, but you will
You will

It’s no big deal
But the last thing I think of when I close my eyes
And the first thing on my mind when I rise:
It is a day and you’re not really in my life

You can try and you won’t find it where you’re lookin’
You can’t hold it til it’s putty in your hands
And you can’t break a heart that wasn’t even yours to break
You could never be there for me in the end

And I will do the right thing
I will, I will, I will
(I will, I always will)
I will, I will, I will

You’re not foolin’ me
I’m not the sort of girl who can’t see reason
But it’s nothing that a little bit of time won’t heal
I know it don’t come easy, but I love you
I do

Coming clean means never closing curtains; I just change my scene
Oh but you’ll know what I mean
And I will learn throughout my life to never lean on what will bend

I can try and I won’t find it where I’m lookin’
I can’t hold it til it’s putty in my hands
You can’t break a heart that wasn’t even yours to break
You could never be there for me in the end

But I will do the right thing
I will, I will, I will
(I will, I always will)
I will, I will, I will

I don’t think you ever learned a thing from me
But I know that you want me to learn from you
And you’ve drawn heavy-handed lines around morality
About yourself and I don’t share your point of view

It’s been time to let you go a thousand times
And you’ll never know that it hurts to be the one that you’d regret
I have to say that I am proud to know you
That I’ll never be the same because we met

You might not miss this

But I will, I will, I will
(I will, I always will)
I will, I will, I will

I will, I will, I will
(I will, I always will)
I will, I will, oh I will
(I will, I always will)
