Haunted

You were the first girl that I wanted

I was only girl you haunted

And everyday felt like a movie

Like one that’s sweet and slightly gloomy

I couldn’t hold your hand in public

I guess that’s how I got so lovesick

You’d say just meet me in the locker room

I'd think about you 'til the bell rang noon

But why’d you go back in the closet?

You said you loved me and you meant it

The way you kissed me, said I need you

But maybe that’s just what they all do

You didn’t have to go back in the closet

Your mom’s uptight, but she’ll accept it

And you can’t play the perfect dream girl

If you're living in a split world

You left me candy in my locker

Cryptic notes, but a quiet talker

You sent gifts and I wrote love songs

We got older, it didn’t take long

But why’d you go back in the closet?

All the heavy things live in it

That’s the closet where we whispered

Into a cracked phone, our hearts flickered

In that closet, my mom told me

That my best friend could never hold me

Ever again and that’s the last time

That something hidden could also be mine
