Lyrics
Verse 1:
He dials my number, Waits for me to pick up the phone
My caller id lights up, I turn away like I?m just not home
He leaves me a message, asking for me to return his call
I think about it, before I press ?delete? twice so I erase any trace of him at all
Bridge :
I?ve tried to pretend that everything is fine
But when I think of him, it just unwinds?
Chorus 1:
I?m being haunted by Eden
I?m being haunted by the memory of a perfect love
I?m being haunted by forgiveness
That fits me just like a glove?
Verse:
I try to call him when I think that he won?t be home
He quickly picks up, I quickly pick up his icy tone
Well, he doesn?t know he?s hurt me and I don?t know what to say
About all the things I?ve stuffed inside all these years,
The things that fester and eat me away
Bridge
Chorus 2:
I?m being haunted by Eden
I?m being haunted by the memory of a perfect love
I?m being haunted by forgiveness
And mercy?and mercy?
Interlude
Outtro:
Grace is what I need?grace is what I need?to give?
