Lyrics:
I keep thinking it's finally over, then comes a second wind.
All my mistakes, like rocks as they suffocate me, ready to cave in.
I'm reminded of the years that pass everytime I go outside,
So I cope the only way I know, I go home and suck the bottle dry

'cause

I got what I wanted,
and Now I'm Haunted!
I got what I wanted,
and woe-is-me, I'm Haunted!

*mini-bridge*

I rot away in secret, but in public I present my best
my biggest fear is that they'll see the underlying mess
When we started off our journey, I looked to the future!
But something went horribly wrong, and I'm only here for her!

'cause

I got what I wanted,
and Now I'm Haunted!
I got what I wanted,
and woe-is-me, I'm Haunted!

*bridge*

Resentment courses through your veins, causing us both tremendous pain.
Don't you see, it's all insane, to force yourself to feel this way!
Poison rots my insides as you continue to torment me,
how long will I have to wallow in my guilt 'til you can forgive me?

It's not what I wanted,
but Now I'm Haunted!
I got what we wanted,
and woe-is-me, I'm Haunted!
We were meant to be a team,
and now I'm living both our dream!
Each morning I wish I could scream,
but my despair would be a luxury.

'cause

I got what I wanted,
and Now I'm Haunted.
I got what I wanted,
and woe-is-me, I'm Haunted.

Now I'm Haunted.
Now I'm Haunted...

'Cause Now I'm Haunted.
