Haunting
Haunted Dreams: Unraveling the Pain in Neighbor Lady's 'Haunting'
Lyrics
I sometimes see you in my dreams
I occasionally encounter your presence in my dreams.
I can't help but think you're haunting me
I feel as though you are persistently affecting me, leaving a lasting impression.
I sometimes see you after dark and
At times, I see you in the darkness, and
I make some snide remark
I respond with sarcastic or cutting remarks.
I can't help my broken heart
My emotional pain is beyond my control; I can't avoid the heartbreak.
The pit of my stomach
The intense emotional distress is centered in the pit of my stomach.
Where it hurts the most
It's where the pain is most acute and severe.
I have no room to talk
I lack the moral authority or justification to criticize.
I just wish I hadn't let you walk away
I regret letting you leave; I wish I had stopped you.
Let you walk away
Reiteration of the regret for letting the person walk away.
Because I hate myself a little more every day
My self-loathing intensifies a bit more with each passing day.
Don't read into it all
Don't overanalyze the situation;
I told myself I'd take the fall
I convinced myself that I would bear the consequences.
Oh but I could have warned you
However, I could have given you a heads-up or forewarning.
I sink a little deeper
I find myself sinking into emotional despair a bit more each day.
Sink a little deeper every day
Reiteration of sinking into deeper emotional turmoil daily.
I sometimes see you in my dreams
I continue to encounter you in my dreams from time to time,
I can't help but think you're haunting me
and I can't shake the feeling that your presence is haunting me.
