Haunting Me
Eternal Echoes: Love's Ghost in 'Haunting Me'
Lyrics
There used to be a time I loved to see your face
Reflecting on a past when the speaker enjoyed seeing the person's face
But since you broke my heart it is another case
Expressing a change in feelings since the person broke the speaker's heart
I try to keep you out but you're not letting me
Describing efforts to keep the person out of the speaker's thoughts
When I close my eyes it's all you I see
Admitting that, despite efforts, the person is still on the speaker's mind when eyes are closed
You keep on haunting me, haunt me like a curse
Characterizing the persistent thoughts of the person as haunting, like a curse
Well it wasn't bad enough that you broke my heart, it's even worse
Emphasizing the worsening impact of the heartbreak on the speaker
Well every evening I cannot fall asleep
Describing difficulty falling asleep due to persistent thoughts about the person
You open up my mind and then in you creep
Illustrating how the person enters the speaker's thoughts, affecting their state of mind
At night I think about the things we used to do
Recalling nighttime contemplation of past shared experiences with the person
But what's the use of it since there is no more you
Acknowledging the futility of reminiscing when the person is no longer part of the speaker's life
You keep on haunting me, haunt me like a curse
Reiterating the haunting nature of the person's memory as a curse
Well it wasn't bad enough that you broke my heart, it's even worse
Stressing the intensified impact of the heartbreak on the speaker
Well every evening I cannot fall asleep
Repeating the difficulty in falling asleep due to persistent thoughts about the person
You open up my mind and then in you creep
Re-emphasizing how the person infiltrates the speaker's mind during the night
At night I think about the things we used to do
Revisiting thoughts about past shared experiences, despite the absence of the person
But what's the use of it since there is no more you
Restating the futility of dwelling on memories without the presence of the person
You keep on haunting me, haunt me like a curse
Persistently describing the haunting effect of the person's memory
Well it wasn't bad enough that you broke my heart, it's even worse
Reiterating the exacerbated impact of the heartbreak
And when I finally sleep there is the break of dawn
Highlighting the recurring presence of the person in the speaker's dreams
Again I see your eyes before I even yawn
Expressing how the person's eyes are the first thing the speaker sees upon waking
And when I meet a girl that could be nice and kind
Noting the interference of the person's memory when meeting someone new
Again there you are messing up my mind
Describing the disruptive effect of the person on the speaker's thoughts
You keep on haunting me, haunt me like a curse
Reiterating the haunting nature of the person's memory as a curse
Well it wasn't bad enough that you broke my heart, it's even worse
Underlining the intensified impact of the heartbreak
Well it wasn't bad enough that you broke my heart, it's even worse
Emphasizing the severity of the heartbreak once again
Well it wasn't bad enough that you broke my heart, it's even worse
Repeating the idea that the heartbreak is particularly severe
