Haunted Heart - Nicki French

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)
