"Haunted" Lyrics

[verse one]
Footsteps on the stairs
Nobody there
I feel like there's someone watching me
Shadows on the wall
Whispers down the hall
But when I look there's nothing to see
You say that you let her go
You turned the page and closed the door
I can't get inside your head'
'Cause when I try she's there instead

[chorus]
I can't compete with a memory
How can I fight with someone that I can't see
There's two of us but it feels like three
I wish her ghost would just let us be
Boy you're everything I ever wanted
But I gotta let you go 'cause this love is haunted
Haunted...

[verse two]
You say that she's gone
That you've moved on
So why do I feel her eyes on me
Can invisible chains keep us in pain
Won't you please tell her set you free
Sometimes when you look past me your eyes see someone I can't see
So I'm giving up this war
'Cause I can't fight it anymore

[chorus]
I can't compete with a memory
How can I fight with someone that I can't see
There's two of us but it feels like three
I wish her ghost would just let us be
Boy you're everything I ever wanted
But I gotta let you go 'cause this love is haunted
Haunted...

[bridge]
Wish I could cast a spell to make her spirit leave
Walls are closing and it's so damn hard to breathe
And there ain't nothing I can do about it

[chorus]
I can't compete with a memory
How can I fight with someone that I can't see
There's two of us but it feels like three
I wish her ghost would just let us be
Boy you're everything I ever wanted
But I gotta let you go 'cause this love is haunted
Haunted...
Haunted (haunted)
Haunted

Haunted
Haunted
I don't wanna fight anymore so I'm walkin out that door
Haunted
Haunted
Haunted
