Text: Brandi Carlile. Give Up the Ghost. Oh Dear.

Oh dear, out here
Everybody stumbles on fear
Who cares if we're scared?
Everyone is on their own

It's only you that my heart desires
Only you alone can know my pain
All alone you were sitting there
Folding pages for your paper chain

Now you can cut me free
Forever say goodbye
Or we'll be holding hands and go on
Together you and I forever

Heart breaks, mistakes
Catching up to me in old ways
I know of hard days
Had my share of lonely nights

It's only you that my heart desires
Only you alone can break my fall
I pace the floor and I wish for more
While you were dreaming with your paper dolls

Now you can cut me free
So when it all unfolds
We'll be holding hands and go on
Together you and I forever

Poor dear, out here
Everybody stumbles on fear
Who cares if you're scared
Everyone is on their own
Oh dear
