Haunted

Light a candle in your name
Things will never be the same
Without you here, you know I fear
That we'll never meet again
I hope you're well, still yourself
I hope you found another life
Your energy is still with me
But it might never burn so bright

Is it everything you wanted?
Is it everything you hoped it would be?
Because this old house is feeling haunted
By the ghosts of memory

The picture frames on the wall
Tell the story of it all
Another time, I don't know why
But we never said goodbye
Where did you go? Are you all alone?
You know I think of you sometimes
On my mind, I don't know why
But I can't call you on the phone

Is it everything you wanted?
Is it everything you hoped it would be?
Because this old house is feeling haunted
By the ghosts of memory

I see your face in the stars
In the passengers of passing cars
Another lane, some other day
When you might not seem so far
Away from me for eternity
You know, it's just so hard to take
I hope you're well, still yourself
Wearing somebody else's face

I hope it's everything you wanted
I hope it's everything you hoped it would be
I'm still haunted by your memory
I think maybe I always will be
