Rissi Palmer - Ghost Lyrics

Mother, they say I'm nothing like you
Patron Saint of wayward kin
Pure of heart and void of sin
Were you human, just playing at perfection
Did you think you were to blame?
Ctoning for your guilt and shame

No I'm not carrying your cross, I can't give that kind of help
You died trying to save everyone, I'm just trying to save myself

Ooooooooooooooo
I want you and not your ghost
Ooooooooooooooo
I want you and not your ghost

Mother, it's cold here in your shadow
The loving light I longed to find
Dimmed before I felt it shine
Your picture's like looking in the mirror
You're a stranger with my eyes
Gave me life but no goodbye

But you're not carrying my cross, I can't get that kind of help
You died trying to save everyone, I'm just trying to save myself

Ooooooooooooooo
I want you and not your ghost
Ooooooooooooooo
I want you and not your ghost

I want your love, I want a hug, I want your time, your flesh and blood, I want the you I'll never know, I want you and not your ghost
I want your love, I want a hug, I want your time, your flesh and blood, I want the you I'll never know, I want you and not your ghost
