"Chasing Ghosts" lyrics

Don't waste your energy
Count all your blessings carefully
Don't go chasing ghosts
Don't want your sympathy
Don't want 'em coming after me
Don't go chasing ghosts

I been standing in line a long time
Said he wanna be the greatest of all time
Nothing he wouldn't do
To prove himself to you
And he knows that he's in for a long ride
Said he wouldn't hold it back anymore
He's gonna break down the door
They're trying to hold it shut
Hoping he's gonna leave and not settle the score
I don't forgive I don't forget
I will not live life with regret
I hope you know I've tried my best here lately
I never wanted it to get
The way it did there at the end
I think it's time I lay my head down, maybe

Don't waste your energy
Count all your blessings carefully
Don't go chasing ghosts
Don't want your sympathy
Don't want 'em coming after me
Don't go chasing ghosts

You can feel the shift in the room
And they don't know what you're gonna do
You can feel the tension rising
Like it's blowing through the roof
I don't know what good it'd do
Screaming so hard we turn blue
Don't know how much stronger this will get
Already hundred proof
You only ever bring me pain
There ain't a measure I won't take
I will not let go of my solitude
There ain't a bone that I won't break
And twice won't be the same mistake
You won't survive with that bad attitude

Don't waste your energy
Count all your blessings carefully
Don't go chasing ghosts
Don't want your sympathy
Don't want 'em coming after me
Don't go chasing ghosts
Don't go chasing ghosts
