Haunted House

Haunted House

Tonight when I get home from work
She'll be waiting inside
Just like a ghost behind the door
Of some carnival ride

And while she goes through the motions
I'll have to hold my breath
Cause watching her pretend she cares
Always scares me to death

Chorus
It's not some bloody scene
Like the movies on TV
Nothing like the horror books
I used to like to read
It's nothing quite that simple
That makes me scream and shout
Somehow we've lost our way
Inside this haunted house

We've had our share of ups and downs
Though we've been down a while
She could still drive my fears away
With one flash of her smile

But we're stuck in a scary place
Both frozen in our tracks
I just hope I'm strong enough
To get my baby back

Bridge
I'm haunted by words of affection
That still echo in my ears
And by the memory of a tender touch
I haven't felt in years
