This song goes out to anyone who has ever had a parent struggling with drug addiction. It really is up and down. The memories I have with my father were the best and worst parts of my life.
lyrics
Your like the ghost of Christmas Past
Living proof that nothing ever lasts
We were hoping for better days
But none ever came
Your like the ghost of Christmas Past
Living proof that nothing ever lasts
I was wishing you away
But now I wish that you had stayed
Cuz you were the only one
who believed in me
Just wait and see
it doesn't matter what they say
It doesn't matter what they think
as long as you believed in me
But you would go so far away
just like always...
Cuz your like the ghost of Christmas Past
Living proof that nothing ever lasts
We were hoping for better days
But none ever came
Your like the ghost of Christmas Past
Living proof that nothing ever lasts
I was wishing you away
But now I wish that you had stayed
Away from all the drugs
you know, they tear into your skin
and make you act so different
oh, who are you know
oh, who are you know
you'd come home so late
and you'd always say
Don't waste your time
No...
Just don't waste your time
On trivial pursuits
Cuz if you put your faith in me son
Your going to lose
Cuz your like the ghost of Christmas Past
Living proof that nothing ever lasts
We were hoping for better days
But none ever came
Your like the ghost of Christmas Past
Living proof that nothing ever lasts
I was wishing you away
But now I wish that you had stayed
So far away
Cuz nothin ever lasts
No, not quite this time
No, not quite this time
Your like the ghost of Christmas Past
Living proof that nothing ever lasts
Cuz Your like the ghost of Christmas Past
Living proof that nothing ever lasts
Nothin ever lasts...
Cuz your like the ghost of Christmas Past
Living proof that nothing ever lasts
We were hoping for better days
But none ever came
Your like the ghost of Christmas Past
Living proof that nothing ever lasts
I was wishing you away
But now I wish that you had stayed
So far away
Cuz nothin ever lasts
No, not quite this time
No, not quite this time
