Haunted
Tufts Jackson Jills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I′d live to see it break
It's getting dark and it′s all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And it's coming over you like it′s all a big mistake
Oh, holding my breath
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 wishing he was you instead
Oh, holding my breath
Won't see you again
Something keeps me holding onto 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
I can't go back
I′m haunted
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

I'm tormented by the memory of our past relationship
Stood there and watched you walk away

I was honest and sincere in our past conversations
He will try to take away my pain

Won't finish what you started?
Are you unwilling to put in the effort to save our relationship?
I can't go back
It's impossible to reverse the damage done to our relationship
I'm haunted
The memory of our relationship still lingers and affects me
Never ever thought I'd see it
I never imagined our relationship would fall apart
