Haunted

I'm haunted by this bottle
It's calling out to me
In the quiet I can't handle
The ghost of what used to be
Your memory fills this room
Like a shadow I can't chase
I take a sip to calm the pain
But I'm stuck here all the same

I'm haunted by the moments
When your love was all I knew
And now I'm drowning in this bottle
Trying to burn the thought of you
Each sip just pulls me deeper
Into the pain that never ends
And no matter what I drink, girl
You'll never call me back again

I'm haunted by your memory
It's a ghost I can't outrun
And this Whiskey burns
Just like the fire
From the day our love was done
I'm living in this shadow
Where your love once held its place
Now I drink to keep you closer
And I'm haunted by much better days
With you

Your face appears in every glass
A reflection of what's gone
And I wonder if you're haunted too
Or if you just moved on
But the answers aren't in whiskey
Just the burn it leaves behind
I keep looking for some closure
But I'm met with silence every time

I'm haunted by your memory
It's a ghost I can't outrun
And this whiskey burns just like the fire
From the day our love was done
I'm living in this shadow
Where your love once held its place
Now I drink to keep you closer
And I'm haunted by much better days
With you

I tried to leave you in the past
But you're always on my mind
Every shot is just a pause
In the pain you left behind
And I know deep down I'm haunted
And you're never coming back
So I hold onto this bottle
To forget what I once had

Yes, I'm haunted by your memory
It's a ghost I can't let go
Whiskey burns just like the fire
From the love I used to know
