about

I wrote this track in collaboration with fellow New Brunswick artist Tyler Lombard (now based in Toronto). Combining a melody from tyler with our lyrics about the choice to leave a loveless relationship, “Sleep With Ghosts” reached its full potential after I invited the Saint John String Quartet to add their talents to the song.

lyrics

The way you smiled at me
Was easy to believe
That you were the special kind

Now we're lying here
I think you should to leave
Cleary I’m not on your mind

If you’re looking for someone better
Go on and get her

I’d rather sleep with ghosts
Than lie in cold shadows
Of who you’re really
dreaming of

My bandaged heart it knows
Im gonna let you go
Someone else deserves my love

It didn't take long to see
That you’re not what I need
And that’s someone, someone who cares

I was starving for affection
So I ran in your direction
And the truth is you were never really there

You were looking for someone better
go on and get her

I’d rather sleep with ghosts
Than lie in cold shadows
of who you’re really
dreaming of

My bandaged heart it knows
I’m gonna let you go
Someone else deserves my love

There is no use in trying or asking why
Your actions speak louder than every single lie

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I’d rather sleep with ghosts
Than lie cold shadows
Of who you’re really
dreaming of

My bandaged heart it knows
I’m gonna let you go
You don't deserve my love

I’d rather sleep with ghosts
Than lie in cold shadows
Of who you’re really
dreaming of

My bandaged heart it knows
better to let you go
You don’t deserve my
Don’t deserve my
Don’t deserve my love

No no
You threw away my love so easy
