Song: Haunted -- Taylor Swift

Yeah, again, Taylor Swift again. Some of you might be thinking, "Locky, you are such a big fan! But I've had enough". Well, to be honest, I'm not her fan at all, but her songs are really really good! Her mid to downtempo ones are great, but how about her uptempo ones? Never thought that Taylor can sing a good upbeating one, but this one really rocks!

Well, here I have one to share, Haunted from her latest album Speak Now.

This song talks about a girl misses her ex-boyfriend so much and is repeatedly suffering from his absence even though she is with someone new.

The lyric is quite repetitive, but the selling point is on the power of the song and the music band. Why music band? Take a look at her interview below.

Here's the full song:

Lyrics: (good lyrics are underlined)


[Verse 1]
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and its all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And its comin' over you like its all a big mistake

Holding my breathe, won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold

[Chorus]
Come on, come on don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted
Come on, come on don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone
Can’t turn back now, I’m haunted

[Verse 2]
Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I say to you
He will try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishin he was you instead

Oh, oh, holding my breath, won't see you again
Something keeps me holding on to nothing

[Chorus]
Come on, come on don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted
Come on, come on don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone
Can’t turn back now, I’m haunted

[Bridge]
I know, I know, I just know
You're not gone, you can't be gone
No

[Chorus]
Come on, come on don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
Won't finish what you started
Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone can’t go back
I’m haunted

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
Never ever thought I'd see it break
Never thought I'd see it
