Why I'm Haunted

Come here, pretty please
Baby?
Can you tell me where I am?
You won't you say anything
I need to get my bearings
I'm lost
And the shadows keep on changing

I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved
And actions that I have hated

Don't cry
There's always a way
Here in this house of leaves
We'll pray

Please, I know it's hard to believe
I know it's hard to see a perfect forest
Through so many splintered trees
But,
These shadows keep on changing

I'm haunted
By the lives that wove the web
Inside my haunted head

Come here
Now I won't say please
Come here
I've got the pieces here
Time to gather up the splinters
Build a casket for my years

I'm haunted
By the promises I've made
And others I have broken

I'm haunted
By the hallways in this tiny room
The echos there of me and you
The voices that are carrying this tune

I'll always love you
I'll always need you
I'll always want you
And I will always miss you
And that's why
That's why I'm haunted
