In “Haunted,” Taylor writes about a past relationship in this song which the memory of will not escape her mind. The boy and the relationship will haunt her for the rest of her life.
On the Speak Now World Tour, Taylor revved up the drama for the song by starting it with bells and wearing a dark, ripped-up dress.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You and I walk a fragile line I have known it all this time But I never thought I'd live to see it break It's getting dark and it's all too quiet And I can't trust anything now And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake
[Pre-Chorus]
Whoa, holding my breath Won't lose you again Something's made your eyes go cold
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong You're all I wanted Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
[Verse 2]
Stood there and watched you walk away From everything we had But I still mean every word I said to you He will try to take away my pain And he just might make me smile But the whole time, I'm wishing it was you instead
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, holding my breath Won't see you again Something keeps me holding onto nothing
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong You're all I wanted Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
[Bridge]
I know I know I just know You're not gone, you can't be gone, no
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong Won't finish what you started Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't go back, I'm haunted (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Outro]
You and I walk a fragile line I have known it all this time Never ever thought I'd see it break Never thought I'd see it
