Hunchback Whale – Haunted By A Memory

“Haunted By A Memory is the first single off our debut album, Wish You Well.

The song is about saying what’s difficult when it’s critically important. It’s the guy finding the courage to ask the girl out. It’s the wife finding the courage to reveal her past. It’s the friend finding the courage to share what she believes because it matters that much.

There’s no music video – just listen. And if you do, I hope you enjoy it. And I hope you speak up, when it’s your turn.”

Lyrics

V1
I’ve got this secret
I always wanted to share with you
But the words most important to share are the hardest to

I’ve got this secret
It’s been on my mind for quite some time
Kept it inside terrified, but that ends tonight
Yeah, it ends tonight

CH1
‘Cause I don’t want to lose you
I don’t want to let you slip away
I don’t want to lock inside a looping mind
The words that I couldn’t say

‘Cause I don’t want to lose you
I don’t want to throw our lives away
I don’t want to live a life of looking back
Always haunted by a memory

V2
I’ve got this secret
It’s making me sick by concealing it
I’m horrified that I might let my last chance go by

Oh, I’ve got this secret
Please hear me out, I got to let you know
It’s too important to me, I cannot let it go
So here it goes

CH2
I don’t want to lose you
I don’t want to let you slip away
I don’t want to lock inside a looping mind
The words that I couldn’t say

‘Cause I don’t want to lose you
I don’t want to throw our lives away
I don’t want to live a life of looking back
Always haunted by a memory

BR

‘Cause I don’t want to lose

Whoa whoa
Oh oh oh

CH3
‘Cause I don’t want to lose you
I don’t want to let you slip away
I don’t want to lock inside a looping mind
The words that I couldn’t say

‘Cause I don’t want to lose you
I don’t want to throw our lives away
I don’t want to live a life of looking back
Always haunted by a memory

‘Cause I don’t want to lose you
