lyrics

Why don't you just breath
the sad song is over
I told you memories fade
but you can't let go over her
wounds will scar and bleed
but you won't just leave her behind
a dead horse is doomed to lie
so please just keep going

Here in spirit always here in spirit
here in spirit always here in spirit
but you won't just leave her behind
who ever said you had to see to feel it
here in spirit always here in spirit
so please just keep going

She's killing me
she's killing me
and I can't help but be scared
it's taking its toll and making its wear

Lives aren't lived in the past
you're afraid to say hello goodbyes
are all you've had
it doesn't make them a lose of despised
though the view may be nice
it's not worth the trouble you'll find
is scar and ice
so please just keep going

Here in spirit always here in spirit
here in spirit always here in spirit
but you won't just leave her behind
it's not worth the trouble you'll find
here in spirit always here in spirit
so please just keep going

She's killing me
she's killing me
and I can't help but be scared
it's taking its toll and making its wear
She's killing me
she's killing me
and I can't help but be scared
it's taking its toll and making its wear

Take a look and it's everywhere that sings her song
and following your heart, it never seems so wrong
a ghost is just a guest that lingers too long
the change is just the day to day

She's killing me
yeah it's killing me
but it doesn't count for a thing
