I thought I buried you deep; I buried you in my skin
And when the night’s at its darkest you come back to me again

I thought I’d leave you behind; I turned and I ran away
But in the silence between my steps your footsteps follow me

You come back to haunt me. You come back to make me feel alone
You come back to haunt me like the fear I can’t let go

I tried to gather the shards that you’d left scattered all over me
They’d broken off underneath the surface

But ghosts I see right through and I can see through you
So all you’ll ever do is be a shade I see tomorrow through

You haunt me. You come back to make me feel alone
But you’re only what breaks me so that someday I’ll be whole
You come back to haunt me
