Haunted Love

The queen of self-sufficiency, met an island of a man
Keep away and run away now, hand in hand
This unexpected alchemy, waves upon a burning shore
I rise and crash in front of you, you burn some more

But no, you didn't know
About the ghosts left inside of me, baby
No, they didn't show
Until your love began to lift me free
And I feel guilty
'Cause when you lie your head upon my chest
You feel the beating of my restless heart
(Ooh)

What used to be invisible, illuminated by a spark
You guard the flame and tenderly hold back the dark

But no, you didn't know
About the ghosts left inside of me, did you, babe?
Feeling so alone in the midst of this uncertainty
I can't help but feel guilty
When you lie your head upon my chest
You feel the beating of my restless heart
Racin' mind, reeling with memories
The could've, should've beens, all through the night

Love, help me sleep tonight
Love, help me breathe tonight
Love, will you stay by my side
In this love, this haunted love?
(Ooh)
Love (ooh, whoa)

'Cause in the middle of the night (ooh)
It'll take you by surprise
So, will you hold me, love (ooh)
In this haunted love?
In the middle of the night
It'll take you by surprise
So let me hold you, love
In this haunted love
