Icehouse - My Obsession

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 obsession)
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 darling, oh you know it's true (My obsession)
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 long 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...

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 obsession)
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 darling, oh you know it's true (My obsession)
My obsession is you, yeah!
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 obsession)
And my obsession is you, yeah! (My obsession is you)
The little things you used to do and say (My obsession is you)
Break every moment, every night and day (My obsession is you)
Believe me darling, oh you know it's true (My obsession is you)

The ghost of you that gets me every time (My obsession)
Just won't let go until it brings me down (My obsession)
