The Haunted

She said come back when your older,
Wait for the wind to blow colder
She placed me aside, smothered the tide.
And left love to die.

She placed her sights on broad shoulders
Then gives me a taste when I'm sober
Enough to stay drinking, to render my thinking.
Then leave me behind

1: I need to move past you,
I need to outlast you.
But you call in the night, you call in the night.
A ghost only I see, you always can find me.
There's nowhere to hide

She said that she lost the spark
But fans the flame going dark
She leaves me with embers,
Enough to remember,
Then tears me apart

She keeps me wrapped 'round her finger
As thoughts of another still linger
She stays occupied, drenched in a lie
Then leaves me to dry

2: I need to move past you,
I need to outlast you.
But you call in the night, you call in the night.
A ghost only I see, you always can find me.
There's nowhere to hide, there's nowhere to hide,
You haunt every sight.

Bridge: My eyes have grown heavy,
My heart has grown weary, just leave me, leave me be.
