Writing This To Haunt You
-written by Jeremy Gloff

THE LYRICS:

I was nineteen and fully consumed by you
Freddie Mercury in your car before my skin froze
And if you think that I'm crazy
Did all I could to push you away
You said we couldn't speak again
You kept your promise

Chorus:
My love I'm writing this to haunt you
Ten years later you still haunt me

Real electric in my spine every time your mouth moved
Madonna me and you in the first snow
Said you had something to tell me
You just were not ready
Scared the greatest love of my life
Was made up in my head

And if I saw you again here is what I'd tell you
What meant nothing to you meant the world to me
Your mouth your skin your lips your hair
My black beret you'd always wear
The only thing I miss more than you is the way I loved you
It's not your fault

There were roaches in the night
And so we slept with a light on

I pledge allegiance to you my favorite fleeting friend
The most two intense months of my life
And so I thank you
It's safe to say I never loved or trusted
The same again
It's not your fault
.
