Haunted - Craig Owens

On the darkest of nights, feeling exposed

A broken fairy tale fills this home

The only sound is my heart beating alone

Can’t keep it in time

I see you in my breath, in this cold

You follow me wherever I go

Bags under my eyes

They don’t miss you at all

That’s why I sleep with the television on

I’m haunted by the things that I cannot see

I’m haunted by a love that will never be

Just when I finally think I’m free

I see you standing there in front of me

I’m haunted by the ghost of your memory

Of your memory

In the dimmest of light she reappears

Feel her whisper in my ear

Shadows dance on the walls

Figures fade in and fall

You’ve been gone for so long but

I still live like you’re here watching me

And I still sleep like you’re right next to me

And I can’t stop from seeing you around

That’s why I sleep with the television on

I’m haunted by the things that I cannot see

I’m haunted by a love that will never be

Just when I finally think I’m free

I see you standing there in front of me

I’m haunted by the ghost of your memory

If we’re all dust from stars

Why do you feel so far

I scream up at the moon to tell me where you are

But we both know you’re gone

I’m haunted by the things that I cannot see

I’m haunted by a love that will never be

Just when I finally think I’m free

I see you standing there in front of me

I’m haunted by the ghost of your memory

Of your memory
