“Haunted” Lyrics By
A Female country song I wrote about surviving abuse
“Haunted”
[verse one]
For years I was held captive in the prison of your love
But at first it seemed like you were sent
from the angels up above
You tricked me into thinking that you were a decent man
More like a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
Crushing my heart inside your hands
It didn’t take long to fall for you, and that was my mistake
I regret the day I met you, with every breath I take
You thought you’d get away with it, cause you’d done it all before
you never wanted someone to love, just a prisoner in your war
[chorus]
The devil often comes disguised
as everything you ever wanted
But when the mask falls off, it’s much too late
I had to claw my way up outta the grave,
that you had dug for me
Drafted into a war I never wanted.
I’m haunted…
[verse 2]
I’d been in battles once or twice; it can’t compare to the wars with you
It was wrong the way you treated me; you were a good at being cruel
You started every battle, but would blame me for it all
Like standing in a minefield; no matter what, I’d fall
You said you were a Godly man, but that sure wasn’t true
And one day I’ll see Heaven, but I can’t say the same for you
[chorus]
The devil often comes disguised
as everything you ever wanted
But when the mask falls off, it’s much too late
I had to claw my way up outta the grave,
that you had dug for me
Drafted into a war I never wanted.
I’m haunted…
[bridge]
The battle wounds you left on me have long since disappeared
But the wicked words you spoke over me sometimes echo in my ears
like a bomb you left me shattered; I feel just like a fool
I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy; I wouldn’t even wish it on you
[chorus]
The devil often comes disguised
as everything you ever wanted
But when the mask falls off, it’s much too late
I had to claw my way up outta the grave,
that you had dug for me
Drafted into a war I never wanted
I’m haunted (haunted)
I’m haunted (haunted)
Haunted…
