Lyrics
I carved a headstone
I created a memorial stone
Here lies another sleepless night
This marks another night where I couldn't sleep
I tried to bury the bones
I attempted to bury the memories
Of all the memories you left behind
Referring to the memories you left behind
You're standing in the doorway
You exist in the entrance of my troubled thoughts
Of my bruised and battered mind
Describing the state of the mind as damaged
And I can't stand to see the doorway closed
I can't bear to see the opportunity for connection closed
So I stay trapped here in the darkness
Choosing to stay in the emotional darkness
'Cause I'm blinded by the light
Feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions
Guess I'll spend the rest of my life being haunted by your ghost
Expecting a prolonged impact of your lingering presence
You left a novel by your chair
A book left by your presence
That I can't bear to put away
Unable to part with a tangible reminder
Your eyes in this photo still follow me
The gaze in a photograph still affects me
Even though the edge is frayed
Even though it's worn at the edges
The clock is counting days and hours and seconds since you left
Time is measured since your departure
I guess the only place where time is on my side is in my head
Time is only favorable in the realm of memory
You're standing in the doorway
Your presence is a recurring thought in my troubled mind
Of my bruised and battered mind
Describing the mental state as damaged and hurt
And I can't stand to see the doorway closed
Aversion to the closing of opportunities for connection
So I stay trapped here in the darkness
Choosing to remain in emotional darkness
'Cause I'm blinded by the light
Feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions (repeated)
Guess I'll spend the rest of my life being haunted by your ghost
Expecting a prolonged impact of your lingering presence (repeated)
You're standing in the doorway
Reiterating the recurring thought of your presence
Of my bruised and battered mind
Re-emphasizing the damaged and hurt mental state
And I can't stand to see the doorway closed
Reiterating aversion to closed opportunities for connection
So I stay trapped here in the darkness
Reiterating the choice to stay in emotional darkness
'Cause I'm blinded by the light
Reiterating feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions
Guess I'll spend the rest of my life
Reiterating the expectation of a prolonged impact of your presence
Where your image is so life-like
Describing the vividness of your image
Yeah I'll spend the rest of my life
Expressing a commitment to be haunted by your presence
Being haunted by your ghost
Repeating the commitment to be haunted by your presence
Haunted by your ghost
Finalizing the commitment to be haunted by your presence
