[Verse 1]
I've been the ghost
And I've been the phoenix
Cursed this life
But I still need it
I lit the match
And I walked away
I've been the ghost
And I've been the phoenix

[Verse 2]
I've been the thief
And I've been the warrior
I lost it all
All fighting for you
I wear that date
Around my neck
I've been the thief
And I've been the warrior

[Chorus]
You can't leave this life without being haunted
Somewhere between what you got and what you wanted
You can't leave this life without being haunted
We're all haunted
[Bridge]
All the ones I couldn't save
All the ones that slipped away
All the things I broke into
All the times I cheated you
All the times I let you down
All the dreams I left to drown
All the ends I couldn't change
All the times I turned away

[Chorus]
You can't leave this life without being haunted
Somewhere between what you got and what you wanted
You can't leave this life without being haunted
We're all haunted
Haunted

[Outro]
I've been the ghost
