I wrote this track with my friend Ciarin Mc Creevy. It was his baby and we brought it to life. A story of living a life, any life, doesn't always go the way you wanted or would have wished for, but you have got to reach out an grab it. No regrets.
lyrics
Haunts me - Lyrics
Verse 1
Twenty- four times I had to lie
to a face that I said I would never tell a lie
you bit and I backed away
took a bit of this way and that
I could only stand my ground
I should know what your feeling
I’ve been low and I mean
Chorus
If I can do this then why won’t
it was always just a bit away
too many reasons and then you decide
you can live and love and let it die
If i can do this and realise I’m living
forsaken the best cause that’s all i’ve been given
If I can do this then why won’t you try
Verse 2
I said I want and I tried to belong
but I just didn’t find what they said I would find
and it all, it just turned to stone
but what I meant to say it didn’t work that way
all that I had and I’m laying it down
before you know it was broken
before you know that I’d spoken
Chorus
If I can do this then why won’t
it was always just a bit away
too many reasons and then you decide
you can live and love and let it die
If I can do this and realise I’m living
forsaken the best cause that’s all i’ve been given
If I can do this then why won’t you try
Middle 8
Yeh, but I didn’t know I was holding my breath, holding my own
yeh, its all going wrong but I’m not giving up and I’m not giving in
Chorus
If I can do this then why won’t
it was always just a bit away
too many reasons and then you decide
you can live and love and let it die
If i can do this and realise I’m living
forsaken the best cause that’s all i’ve been given
If I can do this then why won’t you try
Outro
Cause it haunts me
yeh it really haunts me……….
