The darkness seems to find me
in the brighter times of life
what do i hold onto
how am i to fight
this feeling, this pain
should i do it all in vain...
you whipser in my ear
before you scream my name
[chorus]
all the pain and broken dreams
the empty promises made to me
is too much to escape
because im starting to break
i try to leave my problems at the door
i just cant take it anymore
i cant figure out just what you want
i must be haunted
i left my memories six feet under
buried in the past
here i get to thinking
that nothing ever lasts
so why do follow me, swallow me
pick me up and carry me
to the most painful kind of place
why cant you just let me be
[chorus]
all the pain and broken dreams
the empty promises made to me
is too much to escape
because im starting to break
i try to leave my problems at the door
i just cant take it anymore
i cant figure out just what you want
i must be haunted
you take me up and down
spinning round and round
you pick me up
just to let me down
you take me up and down
spinning round and round
you pick me up
just to let me down
[chorus]
all the pain and broken dreams (nightmare)
the empty promises made to me (liar)
is too much to escape (free me)
because im starting to break (feel me)
i try to leave my problems at the door
i just cant take it anymore (no more)
i cant figure out just what you want (tell me please)
that i'm not haunted
