you've haunted me all my life

you've haunted me all my life
through endless days and countless nights
there was a storm when i was just a kid
stripped the last coat of innocence

you've haunted me all my life
you're always out of reach when i'm in pursuit
long winded then suddenly mute
and there's a flaw in my heart's design
for i keep trying to make you mine

you've haunted me all my life
you've haunted me all my life
you are the mistress i can't make a wife
and you've haunted me all my life
