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),
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 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,
