Icehouse My obsession (Davies/Kretschmer)
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...
Chorus:
The ghost of you that gets me every time
Just won`t let go until it brings me down
I try to hide it but there`s only one
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 roy of light
And I know I can`t pretend
Those shadows won`t come out tonight
(Chorus again)
