Nicki French – Haunted Heart lyrics

HAUNTED HEART
by Gordon Pogoda, Gloria Sklerov & Michael Woodrum

So many pictures packed away
In boxes that have turned to grey
They're hidden in the attic of my mem'ry
The chains that rattle in my mind
I can't escape, and how I've tried
A house that's missing you just feels so empty

Photos on the wall of us
Now they only gather dust
You took the light from my life

You left me with a haunted heart
The ghost of what we had has left a scar
For all the times you promised me your honesty
I never heard your lies
You left me with a haunted heart
A ghost is all I hold inside these arms
And every shade of loneliness
You somehow left
Within the walls inside my haunted heart

I walk around this lonely home
The fire chills me to the bone
I never felt the cold would ever want me
And now I hear an eerie sound
Afraid to even turn around
It's almost like your spirit wants to taunt me

Now a silhouette appears
Though I know you can't be here
Visions that creep 'round my mind

(Repeat Chorus)

Howling winds and stormy skies
Like shadows of a broken life
These boarded windows won't let in the light tonight

(Repeat Chorus)
