Haunted in my mind

Memories that have been hidden

Even when sleeping

Your face haunts my dreams

I thought I got rid of you

I erased you from my memory

Haunted Haunted

The idea of you

Is better than the real you

You want nothing but what’s best for you

Taking advance of things that aren’t for you

Your job was to protect

Not take away innocents

Haunted in my mind

Memories that have been hidden

Even when sleeping

Your face haunts my dreams

I thought I got rid of you

I erased you from my memory

Haunted Haunted

Slowly the black becomes clear

I have come not to trust

To be uncomfortable of a touch

It’s the damage you have done

I thought I moved past it all

Haunted in my mind

Memories that have been hidden

Even when sleeping

Your face haunts my dreams

I thought I got rid of you

I erased you from my memory

Haunted Haunted

I’ll make sure all know

The truth of what you really did

You’re not allowed to haunt me no more
