Samantha Lane - It Haunts Him Lyrics

I can't quite recall the face
Of a boy I knew in second grade
Who pushed me to the ground, teased me on the bus
Broke my little glasses, broke my little trust
But he called me up crying when he left in May
And the last thing I ever thought he'd say
Is even to this day
It haunts him
Seventeen I paid a price
When I let the same hand hurt me twice
He spun my head around, teased me on the phone
Liked my cherry chapstick, wouldn't take me home
But a few months and then a few glasses in
He gets way too honest and as a friend
He tells me yet again
It haunts him
(It haunts him)
Do I cast a spell without knowing it?
Do I curse their minds?
I don't mean all the vengeance that spills from my lips
At least most of the time
Do I spew my wrath without showing it?
Heaven knows I've tried
When the rage in my heart frees itself from my grip
It will eat you alive
Met a boy with eager eyes
His calm hands were a good disguise
He went and let me down, said he needed space
Made me do the leaving he just couldn't face
But it's all for the better, and I know it's true
That the same thing's coming to find him too
The ghost of who he knew
Will haunt him
You leave in the morning
I'd like to know your story
I hope when I come back
He made me do the leaving
That's what a girl gets
I'd like to read your mind
We won't stay forever
I left my hometown
I'll never be what you need
Left my lover
Love my damage
Your songbird flew away
Flew away
