The queen of self-sufficiency
Met an island of a man
Keep away and runaway
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
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
Racing mind
Reeling with memories
The "coulda, shoulda 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
Love
'Cause in the middle of the night
It'll take you by surprise
So will you hold me love
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
