Haunted
Halloween Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every step I take
I see your face
In each window pane
In a house without your light
Anymore
Just don't feel the same
If my mind could speak
What my heart would say
I'll let it be and go away

Midnight's gone
And it's been too long
Now I'm a shadow of myself
You left me wanting nothing else

[chorus]
This house is haunted since you left me, baby
This heart is broken and I'm going crazy
The scent of you left me so consumed
Your presence is in every room
My heart is haunted
Everything I wanted
Left with you baby I'm haunted

Your silhouette is gone
It had to fade
But I still feel you here
Angels never cry
Rain won't subside
Am I feeling heaven's tears
My soul can't leave what I used to need
And its more than I can throw away
Another sun has set
But I can't forget
Deep inside I feel the pain
Cause I won't see you back again

[chorus]

There's nothing left anymore
Gotta let you go




No shame, No hurt no more
I gotta let it go

Line by Line Meaning

Every step I take
I am constantly reminded of you no matter where I go


I see your face
Your image is imprinted in my mind


In each window pane
I see a reflection of myself and a reminder of you


In a house without your light
Without you, everything feels dark and empty


Anymore
My world has been turned upside down since you left


Just don't feel the same
I am no longer the person I was when you were here


If my mind could speak
My thoughts are consumed with missing you


What my heart would say
I am in agony without you


I'll let it be and go away
I cannot bear this pain any longer and must try to move on


Midnight's gone
Time has passed and I am still stuck in the past


And it's been too long
I cannot believe you have been gone for so long


Now I'm a shadow of myself
Without you, I feel incomplete and lost


You left me wanting nothing else
You were everything I wanted and now I have nothing


This house is haunted since you left me, baby
Your absence has haunted every aspect of my life


This heart is broken and I'm going crazy
The pain and loneliness of losing you is too much to bear


The scent of you left me so consumed
Your lingering presence is a constant reminder of what I have lost


Your presence is in every room
I feel you everywhere, but you are nowhere to be seen


My heart is haunted
You are always on my mind and in my heart


Everything I wanted
You were my everything and I cannot imagine life without you


Left with you baby I'm haunted
You took everything with you when you left, leaving me feeling haunted


Your silhouette is gone
Your physical presence is no longer here


It had to fade
Our time together was fleeting and ended too soon


But I still feel you here
Your memory is still vivid and palpable


Angels never cry
The heavens do not grieve like I do


Rain won't subside
The tears keep flowing and will not stop


Am I feeling heaven's tears
Is the universe mourning our loss as well?


My soul can't leave what I used to need
I am still holding on to what I once had with you


And its more than I can throw away
My love for you is too powerful to let go of


Another sun has set
Another day has gone by without you


But I can't forget
I will never forget you or what we had


Deep inside I feel the pain
The agony of losing you is a constant ache


Cause I won't see you back again
Knowing I will never see you again is a pain I cannot bear


There's nothing left anymore
My life has lost all meaning without you


Gotta let you go
I must try to move on from the pain and start a new life


No shame, No hurt no more
I will not be ashamed of my feelings or let the pain control me anymore


I gotta let it go
I must let go of the past and embrace the future without you
