Haunted
Eric Roberson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a girl and I wanted to love her
But love was an hour that I fool around
So all of my feelings I kept to myself
Not when my silence was letting it out

I'm haunted by the day
When the scared young man
Pushed her away
And I ain't loved




Still you to climb up
I just hope I can win her back in time

Line by Line Meaning

I had a girl and I wanted to love her
There was a woman in my life whom I genuinely desired to love and cherish


But love was an hour that I fool around
However, I treated love as a temporary distraction or amusement


So all of my feelings I kept to myself
Consequently, I suppressed all of my emotions and thoughts, unable to express them


Not when my silence was letting it out
Although my silence seemed to keep it hidden, it was actually revealing my true feelings


I'm haunted by the day
The memories of that specific day continually haunt me


When the scared young man
Referring to myself as a fearful and unsure young man at that time


Pushed her away
Regrettably, I pushed her away from my life and rejected her


And I ain't loved
Since then, I have not truly experienced love


Still you to climb up
Yet, I remain hopeful that I can reconcile with her and rebuild what we once had


I just hope I can win her back in time
My foremost desire is to regain her affection before it's too late
