The Haunting of My Mind

Your kisses, I do need

Your touches, I do want

But every time I turn around

My thoughts, it seems to haunt

It creeps up when I’m happy

It lingers when I’m sad

It makes me want to run away

It makes me so damn mad

I try so hard to ignore it

I try so hard to forget

I try so hard to just move on

I try so hard, and yet…

It creeps up when I’m happy

It lingers when I’m sad

It makes me want to run away

It makes me so damn mad

I can’t believe it’s still here

Why won’t it just be gone

I’m tired of being paranoid

I’m tired of feeling alone

I want to believe you love me

I want to believe you care

I want to believe you’re sorry

I want to believe, I swear

I try so hard to ignore it

I try so hard to forget

I try so hard to just move on

I try so hard, and yet…

It creeps up when I’m happy

It lingers when I’m sad

It makes me want to run away

It makes me so damn mad

I want to move on with you

I want our love to last

I just want us to be happy again

I just want to forget the past
