Haunted
Witt Lowry Lyrics

You and I walk a fragile line
Our relationship is delicate and we have to handle it with care

I have known it all this time
I have been aware of our relationship's fragility for a long time

But I never thought I'd live to see it break
I never imagined that our relationship would actually come to an end

It's getting dark and it's all too quiet
Things are becoming bleak and there is an eerie silence

And I can't trust anything now
I have lost my faith in everything and everyone

And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake
You are feeling overwhelmed and like everything is a huge mistake

Oh, I'm holding my breath, won't lose you again
I am desperate to keep you and won't let you slip away again

Something's made your eyes go cold
There is something in your demeanor that makes you seem distant and unfeeling

She was a lonely girl in a cold world
She felt isolated and disconnected in a harsh and unfeeling environment

It seemed like no one could console her
No one was able to comfort or support her

And she would laugh, but she was crying on the inside
She tried to hide her pain with laughter, but on the inside she was hurting

And all this pain she felt inside, she just couldn't hide
Her emotional suffering was too much for her to conceal

But at parties she would seem to act just fine
When in social situations, she would put on a facade of being okay

And drink her problems away until they subside
She would turn to alcohol to numb her pain until it wasn't as intense

And they did, but with time they would come back to haunt her
The problems she tried to evade would eventually resurface and torment her

The drugs and the alcohol turned her into a monster
The substances she used to cope with her pain had a negative impact on her behavior and personality

But she didn't care, she was looking for a quick fix
She was willing to do whatever it took to temporarily relieve the pain she was feeling

Looking in the mirror, going out, new lipstick
She tried to improve her appearance as a way to feel better about herself

Wanting to be the girl that's in every guys dreams
She yearned to be the object of desire for every man

Looked into the mirror, sat down and screamed
She was so unhappy with herself that she let out an anguished scream

He was a lonely boy with a big void
He felt empty inside and that something was missing from his life

His heart had been thrown around like a cheap toy
His emotions had been toyed with and he felt used and discarded

And it was big, but nobody cared
The love he had to offer was significant, but no one seemed to appreciate it

And he would give them all his love, but they were unprepared
He would love others deeply, but they were not ready or willing to reciprocate

And his friends told him,"Fuck bitches, yeah get money
His friends encouraged him to disregard women and focus on making money

Why spend your time stressing out over honeys?"
They questioned why he would bother worrying about women and relationships

And he didn't know, but he wanted to feel something
He didn't realize it at the time, but he yearned for emotional connection

Searching for a love and ended up finding nothing
His quest for love led him to come up empty-handed

But one night he headed up at a party
One evening, he attended a party

Saw this girl there, she was acting kinda snotty
He noticed a girl who was acting aloof and unfriendly

But he kinda liked it, it kinda turned him on
Her behavior was intriguing to him and he found it attractive

And though the signs were there, he approached her head on
Despite there being signs that pursuing her was not a good idea, he went for it anyway

Red flags popped up everywhere in the room
There were warning signs all around that he didn't take into account

And still he asked her if she would be busy at noon
He was so infatuated that he tried to make plans with her for the next day

And of course she said no, so they went out on a date
She rejected his invitation for the next day, but they ended up going on a date anyway

And from that moment on, he had sealed his own fate
Starting from that date, his future with this girl was inevitable

And everything was great or so this boy thought
He believed everything was going well, but he was unaware of what was going on with the girl

He was looking for love and this girl was just not
He wanted a real relationship, but the girl was not interested in anything serious

She never cared for him, she was looking for a quick fix
She did not have any real feelings for him and was only using him to feel better about herself

This boy would give her everything, anything he fucking could
He would do whatever he could to make her happy and give her what she wanted

This girl was never happy with herself, love? she never would
Despite everything he did for her, she was not able to feel happy or loved

And one day this boy went over to her house
One day, he went to visit her at her home

She was with another dude giving head on the couch
He found her with another man performing oral sex on the couch

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
He pleads with her not to leave him in this state of uncertainty and pain

Can't breathe whenever you're gone
He finds it hard to function when she is not there with him

Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
He is unable to go back to how things were before and is tormented by his experiences
