Haunted by You

I woke up with your name

Written somewhere I can't see

A whisper underneath my breath A stranger living inside me

I tried to wash it from my hands

Tried to bury every trace But every road I run away from

Leaves me standing in your place

There's a photograph turned backwards

On the dresser by my bed

I don't know why I keep it

But I can't throw it away yet

And there's a perfume in the hallway

That I swear I've never known Still,

every time the night gets colder

I don't feel so alone

Something in me knows you

Something I can't explain

Like a word I've forgotten

That still answers to your name And I—

I'm haunted by you

But I don't know why

You're hiding in the spaces

Between every goodbye

I'm haunted by you

Like a dream I can't lose I keep reaching through the darkness

For something I never knew

And if you're not mine...

Why does it feel like

I'm losing you?

I hear you in the rain sometimes

In the pounding on my window

And I swear I saw you yesterday But you vanished down the

road

I keep wearing that old necklace Though I don't remember why

Maybe I found it in a lifetime

I forgot before I died

There's a hole beneath my ribs

That nothing seems to fill

And every time I almost heal Something whispers— (whispering:) "Still."

Something in me knows you

Something beneath my skin

Like I've been standing at your doorway

Just waiting to be let in And I—

I'm haunted by you

But I don't know why

You're hiding in the spaces

Between every goodbye

I'm haunted by you

Like a dream I can't lose I keep reaching through the darkness

For something I never knew

And if you're not mine...

Why does it feel like I'm losing you?

Maybe I've been running

From the only place I'm safe

Maybe I've been searching

For a face I can't erase

Maybe every empty room

Was never really empty

Maybe all this time You were right beside me...

...and I was too afraid to see.

TELL ME WHY!

I FEEL YOU WHEN YOU'RE GONE!

TELL ME WHY!

I HEAR YOU WHEN THERE'S NO ONE!

I DON'T KNOW YOUR HEART— BUT MINE KNOWS YOURS!

I DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME— BUT I'VE BEEN WAITING AT YOUR DOOR!

I'M HAUNTED BY YOU!

AND NOW I KNOW WHY!

YOU'VE BEEN HIDING IN THE CORNER OF MY MIND!

I'M HAUNTED BY YOU!

I CAN'T BREAK THROUGH!

EVERYTHING I CALLED A GHOST WAS LEADING ME TO—

YOU! I was never chasing shadows

I was chasing something true

I wasn't afraid of losing myself...

I WAS AFRAID OF FINDING YOU.

And if I wake tomorrow

And the haunting disappears...

I'll finally understand

Why I was always afraid

Of being alone. ...without you.
