Lyrics
I ride a dark and lonely road
A thousand miles from home
Where did I go wrong
I've got a wicked feeling that
Something evil's headin' my way
A past I can't escape
A familiar twist of fate (ooh ooh)
She takes the best of me
Sucks me in and I can't breathe
She knows that I won't leave
When I feel her coming I
I close my eyes and grit my teeth
I don't know why I still believe
Here to take the best of me
Unwanted, I'm Haunted
Flames burn inside of me
Flames burn in the pits of hell
I lost my soul in a game of bones
Got it back at the wishing well
An empty shell for what it's worth
Left alive to roam the earth
Tempted with a twist of fate (ooh ooh)
She takes the best of me
Sucks me in and I can't breathe
She knows that I won't leave
When I feel her coming I
I close my eyes and grit my teeth
I don't know why I still believe
Here to take the best of me
Unwanted, I'm Haunted
She takes the best of me
Sucks me in and I can't breathe
She knows that I won't leave
When I feel her coming I
I close my eyes and grit my teeth
I don't know why I still believe
Here to take the best of me
She took the best of me
Sucked me in and I can't breathe
She knows I'll never leave
I still feel her coming
I close my eyes and grit my teeth
I don't know why I still believe
Here to take the best of me
Unwanted, I'm Haunted
