I've been the ghost
And I've been the phoenix
Cursed this life
But I still need it
I lit the match
And I walked away
I've been the ghost
And I've been the phoenix

I've been the thief
And I've been the warrior
I lost it all
Oh fighting for ya
I wear that day
Around my neck
I've been the thief
And I've been the warrior

You can't leave this life without being haunted
Somewhere between what you got and what you wanted
You can't leave this life without being haunted
We're all haunted

All the ones I couldn't save
All the ones that slipped away
All the things I broke in two
All the times I cheated you
All the times I let you down
All the dreams I left to drown
All the ends I couldn't change
All the times I turned away

You can't leave this life without being haunted
Somewhere between what you got and what you wanted
You can't leave this life without being haunted
We're all haunted
Haunted

I've been the ghost
