Haunting

In a nook, in a corner

Of my mind, your phantom wanders

It has set up camp with no signs of leaving

So how am I supposed to move on beyond the grieving

Can I wish it away? Or I can beg it to say?

If your ghost is akin to you, then it will up and evaporate

I can try to drown it, maybe it’ll wash away

Now I’m drinking, overthinking. My mind is in decay

Burned in image on the CRT

You’re always haunting me, haunting me

I turn it off, your imprint’s all I see

Why can’t you let me be, let me be

Can’t escape you, someone set me free

I’m sick and tired, losing sleep

I’m under mental lock and key

Because you’re always haunting me

Take a pill, Take a potion

To subside this Ghost’s commotion

It has set up camp with no signs of leaving

So how am I supposed to deal with the constant teasing

Can I wish it away? Or should I beg it to stay?

I’m getting so frustrated waiting for it to dissipate

I can try to drown it, maybe it will wash away

I’m losing sleep watching you creep

I’m begging you to go away

Burned in image on the CRT

You’re always haunting me, haunting me

I turn it off, your imprint’s all I see

Why can’t you let me be, let me be

Can’t escape you, someone set me free

I’m sick and tired, losing sleep

I’m under mental lock and key

Because you’re always haunting me

Maybe I’m not cut out for love

Maybe this isn’t right for me

Cause the ghost of what we had together

Seems to be haunting me

Maybe I’m not cut out for love

Maybe this isn’t right for me

Cause the ghost of what we could have been

Is haunting, haunting me

Burned in image on the CRT

You’re always haunting me, haunting me

I turn it off, your imprint’s all I see

Why can’t you let me be, let me be

Can’t escape you, someone set me free

I’m sick and tired, losing sleep

I’m under mental lock and key

Because you’re always haunting

Burned in image on the CRT

You’re always haunting me, haunting me

I turn it off, your imprint’s all I see

Why can’t you let me be, let me be

Can’t escape you, someone set me free

I’m sick and tired, losing sleep

I’m under mental lock and key

Because you’re always haunting me
