Haunted
Tyler Ward feat. Alex G & Jess Moskaluke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall 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 so 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
Won't lose you again
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
But I never thought I'd see it break
Never thought I'd see it

The singer has watched their partner walk away but still holds onto the hope that things can work out. The lyrics indicate that the relationship issues go beyond what the singer can control, with another person trying to take away their pain. However, the singer is not satisfied with this person's efforts, wishing that it was their partner who could make them smile.

The reason I love this song by Taylor is because of the strings. It is a testament to your voices that I love this version without.
