Her presence is overwhelming but she isn’t there.
[Verse 1]
Your shirt still hangs on my door
Like it pays the rent
Your perfume in the pillowcase
Won’t take the hint
I open the window wide
But it stays right here
In the seams of the sheets
In the dark, in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
I say your name
And the room leans in
I swear your shadow
Knows where I’ve been
[Chorus]
My bedroom’s haunted
By your smell
My bedroom’s haunted
By your eyes as well
I can’t breathe right
I can’t sleep well
My bedroom’s haunted
By your smell
[Verse 2]
Your laugh hits the mirror
Then it breaks again
Your tears on my collar
Your mouth on my skin
I’m pacing these floorboards
Like they’re made of glass
Every corner remembers
How you used to last
[Pre-Chorus]
I touch the wall
And it answers back
Like your fingertips
On a panic attack
[Chorus]
My bedroom’s haunted
By your smell
My bedroom’s haunted
By your eyes as well
I can’t breathe right
I can’t sleep well
My bedroom’s haunted
By your smell
[Bridge]
So I may have to move
Pack my heart in a box
Or you may have to come back
And unlock what you locked
‘Cause the bed keeps your shape
And the curtains, your cry
I’m a ghost in this room
Till you tell me why
[Final Chorus]
My bedroom’s haunted
By your smell
My bedroom’s haunted
By your eyes as well
I can’t breathe right
I can’t sleep well
My bedroom’s haunted
By your smell
My bedroom’s haunted
By you, as well
