Lyrics

My Obsession

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I used to be the one who made you feel

So safe and strong

I could always make it right

When everything was going wrong

I don't know why it seems

So different now I'm on my own

And I don't know what it is

That scares me when I'm all alone

I can't believe that everyone I know

Would lie to me

When they all tell me that I'm not the man

I used to be

Don't want to hear about the things

That I already know

You've got to say it isn't so

Oh no, it's the...

The ghost of you that gets me every time (my obsession)

Just won't let go until it brings me down (my obsession)

I try to hide it but there's only one (my obession)

And my obsession is you

The little things you used to do and say (my obsession)

Break every moment of my night and day (my obsession)

Believe me darlin oh you know it's true (my obsession)

And my obsession is you

Yeah, my friends all turn away

They tell me not to waste my time

They say they just don't understand

How anyone could be so blind

And there's one thing you can't change

Forget about her now you know she's gone

Hey boy, that girl is just no good

She's only gonna do you harm

So I watch the hours turn

Until I lose the last lony ray of light

And I know I can't pretend

Those shadows won't come out tonight

I can't believe that everyone I know would lie to me

When they all tell me that I'm not the man I used to be

Don't want to hear about the things that I already know

You've got to say it isn't so, oh no, it's the...
