Haunted;Rihanna

The steps on the stairs;

Aren't really there;

Feel like there's someone watching me;

Shadows on the wall

Whispers down the hall

When I look there's nothing to see

You say that you let her go

Turn the page and closed the door

Can't get inside your head

'cause when I try, she's there instead

She's everywhere, the stairs, the halls, even in his mind. I look to him and see the sadness. The constant lingering of her memory is constantly weighing our relationship down. He says he's moved on, locked her up, and never looked back. But every time I try to be what he thinks about, she's always their pushing me out, taking my place. Taking what is mine.

I can't compete with a memory

How can I fight with someone that I can't see?

There are two of us but it feels like three

I wish her ghost would just let us be

I cant fight her, I can't make her leave him be. I can't see her, she's not here anymore, yet I constantly have to compete with her for his attention. Its just the two of us but with her memory there, it feels like three. I wish we were free, that he had never loved her, that he could love me, like he loved her. Without fighting, and lying, and pain.

Boy your everything I ever wanted

But I got to let you go 'cause this love is...

He's everything I want. Everything I could ever need, but I have to let him go. The burden we have barred has taken over everything, grown and grown until it became too large, too heavy to go on. She's haunting us, and I can't do it anymore.

You say that she's gone

That you've moved on

so why do I feel her eyes on me

Invisible chains keep us in pain

Won't you please tell her set you free?

Sometimes when you look past me

Your eyes see someone I can't see

So I've given up this war

'cause I can't fight it anymore

He tells me she's gone. He's all mine, no exceptions, so why do I have to know the truth from the lie? I feel her every time he's here, and every time he isn't, she wont go away. She's locked to him, and I don't have the key, Why can't he make her set him free? He looks past me and I see her in his eyes, I can't see her and I'm throwing in the towel, waving my white flag. This war isn't one I can fight, not anymore.

I can't compete with a memory

How can I fight with someone that I can't see?

Theres two of us but it feels like three

I wish her ghost would just let us be

Boy your everything I ever wanted

But I got to let you go 'cause this love is...

He's everything I want, Everything I've ever needed, but I can't compete with a memory, how could I fight with a girl who's not even here no more? Theres just us two but she's always there, making it feel like three. I've gotta let him go, cause her presence still lingers in his mind, haunting this love, making it impossible to make work. How can it be haunted by a memory?

Wish I could cast a spell to make her spirit leave

The walls close and then its so damn hard to breath

There is nothing I could do about it...

Why can't I just make her leave, make her disappear and never come again. The walls are caving in on me, its so hard to keep going. And I can't do anything to stop it.

I can't compete with a memory

How can I fight with someone that I can't see?

Theres two of us but it feels like three

I wish her ghost would just let us be

Boy your everything I ever wanted

But I got to let you go 'cause this love is...

I can't compete with her no more, how could I fight her?, when I can't see her and she never seems to leave, He's all I ever needed, And He's all I've ever wanted, but I'm giving him up, and I'm letting him go,

I don't want to fight anymore

Someone is walking out that door...

Haunted

Haunted...

I don't want to fight, no anymore; someone is gonna be leaving, and they're going to walk away. And It's not gonna be him. This love is haunted, she's never gonna leave, so I'm gonna walk out that door.
