A Song that I Wrote

Hey, guys! So I feel I need to do a little explaining on this one because it is kinda different than my usual songs. I wrote it completely without a story to back it up, but it's about a girl who just broke up with her boyfriend but can't seem to get him quite out of her mind. So please don't think that when I say the term "haunting" that I mean actual ghosts and spirits...more of an image as to how she's feeling.

In this song, I wanted to capture a bit of the feeling of Daughtry's Ghost of Me twisted nicely with the echoing, poppish break-up sounds of Kelly Clarkson's Already Gone. I love both of those songs immensely, so I was a little skeptical in attempting to make my own. By the grace of God, I got through it, however.

Well, here is my latest song, "Haunting Me Tonight". Enjoy!

When we said goodbye,
Didn't think I'd try,
To get you back one last time.

I tried to find,
Some peace of mind,
To spare me from my memories.

Chorus

So why does your stare,
Still haunt me,
With the way you looked in my eyes?

I can feel you there,
Beside me.
Why is thin air your one disguise?

Baby, you're haunting me tonight.

I look around,
And all I see,
Is the shadow of your memory.

You're in my heart,
And in my head,
Like you're just another part of me.

Chorus

I must be insane,
For calling your name,
And tryin' to ressurect the past.

I don't know what to do,
Can't live without you.
I'm trying to let this feeling pass.

Chorus
