I've seen how you tremble

Whenever he walks through your mind

Stirring up memories that cloud up your eyes

Where the light of our love ought to shine



I know that he hurt you, hurt you so bad

He must have been going insane

Now I've finally learned how to hold you together

When somebody mentions his name



He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you

He's not really there like he seems

And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close

I'll love him right out of your dreams



I know that he's called you

And told you that our love can't last

But don't you believe him ‘cause honey he's wrong

He's never been right in the past



So don't let him haunt you and tell you those lies

He just can't admit that you're free

And the next time he calls you just hand me the phone

And see if he says it to me



He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you

He's not really there like he seems

And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close

I'll love him right out of your dreams



He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you

He's not really there like he seems

And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close

I'll love him right out of your dreams
