you made me wretched
you made me feel stupid
you made me feel ugly
without even trying
you made me want you
but you made feel nothing
then you made me promise
when you knew I was lying
and this is what you wanted
well this must be what you wanted
like a house wants to be haunted
is this what you wanted?
there is nobody here I'm all by myself
just like that book that you kept on your shelf
you knew when you bought it
you would never read it
but you kept it around anyway
and this is what I wanted
well this is what I wanted
like a house wants to be haunted
is this what I wanted?
is this what i've been asking for?
well it is too late to turn back now
but it is so dark I'm afraid here
and the wind is starting to
as legend would have it
if you get real quiet
you can see some things
as they used to be
and I see a house
it's got boarded up windows
it's got squeaky floorboards
and a note on the door
that just says
this is what we wanted
well this is what we wanted
now we're a house that's haunted
but that's what we wanted
yeah
