Haunted
Taylor Swift/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and its all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And its comin' over you like its all a big mistake

Holding my breath, won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold

Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted
Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back, now I'm haunted

Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I said to you
He will try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishin' he was you instead
Oh, oh, holding my breath, won't see you again
Something keeps me holding on to nothing

Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted
Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back, now I'm haunted

I know, I know, I just know
You're not gone, you can't be gone
No

Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong, won't finish what you started
Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't go back, I'm haunted

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time




Never ever thought I'd see it break
Never thought I'd see it

Overall Meaning

The song "Haunted" by Taylor Swift is deeply emotional, conveying the heartache and confusion one feels when a relationship falls apart without warning. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, describing the fragile nature of the connection between the singer and the person they love. The singer is aware of the delicate balance between them, but they never thought things could crumble so easily. As darkness settles in and the world grows quiet, they're left with a feeling of uncertainty and no one to trust.


The chorus is a plea for the person they love not to leave them, to come back and help them make sense of what went wrong. They thought they had everything figured out, but something has gone terribly wrong, and they're haunted by the loss of what they once had. Even though the other person has walked away, the singer can't let go and feels trapped in a state of pain and longing. Despite the possibility of finding temporary relief through someone else, they still wish it was their lost love with them instead.

Wateren Bend

This is AMAZINGLY!!! Do another cover, like maybe Wonderland or Red by Taylor Swift ? The ones on YouTube of these two are more pop-rock than rock.

This is the first screamo song I ever listened to straight through because I don't like the screamo genre. Absence of Anchors did absolutely awesome with this song. I'm glad my girlfriend showed me this.
