Haunting Me
Loveless Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

History has a way
Of telling me to stay away
Cause all I see is you
How do I say
Everything catches up to me
Like it was always you

It’s a brand new day
But I can’t even think straight

Got a taste of the bitter in me
Now I keep it just to feel complete
Wish that I could just fall asleep
And not wake up with you haunting me

Make believe
Telling me that everything will be alright
But all I see is you
I could climb another mountain
Swim another sea
Fall apart again if you were next to me
Cause it was all for you

It’s a brand new day
But I can’t even think straight

Got a taste of the bitter in me
Now I keep it just to feel complete
Wish that I could just fall asleep
And not wake up with you haunting me
Got a taste of the bitter in me
Now I keep it just to feel complete
Wish that I could just fall asleep
And not wake up with you haunting me

You’re haunting me
You’re haunting me
You’re haunting me
You’re haunting me

Got a taste of the bitter in me
Now I keep it just to feel complete
Wish that I could just fall asleep
And not wake up with you haunting me
Got a taste of the bitter in me
(And now, and now I)
Now I keep it just to feel complete
Wish that I could just fall asleep




And not wake up with you haunting me
(Without you haunting me)

Line by Line Meaning

History has a way
The past always reminds me to stay away from you


Of telling me to stay away
It warns me to avoid being with you


Cause all I see is you
Because you are always on my mind


How do I say
How can I express


Everything catches up to me
The feeling of being overwhelmed creeps in


Like it was always you
As if you were the cause of all my worries


It’s a brand new day
Another day begins


But I can’t even think straight
But I am unable to focus on anything else


Got a taste of the bitter in me
Experienced the pain within me


Now I keep it just to feel complete
I hold onto it to preserve a sense of wholeness


Wish that I could just fall asleep
I long for the release of slumber


And not wake up with you haunting me
So that you won't be on my mind when I awaken


Make believe
Delusional thoughts


Telling me that everything will be alright
Giving false hopes that things will improve


But all I see is you
But you are still the only thing I can focus on


I could climb another mountain
I am capable of overcoming any challenge


Swim another sea
I can endure any obstacle


Fall apart again if you were next to me
All the pain would return if you were around


Cause it was all for you
All the effort I put in was for you


You’re haunting me
You are a constant presence in my thoughts


Got a taste of the bitter in me
Experienced the pain inside me


Now I keep it just to feel complete
I hold onto it to feel whole


Wish that I could just fall asleep
Longing for the relief of rest


And not wake up with you haunting me
So that you won't trouble my mind when I wake


Without you haunting me
Free from your constant presence in my thoughts
