I got your messages on my machine
I never called you back at the time
I got the flowers you sent to my work
With a note suggesting coffee sometime
I realise you`re thinking `bout me
But I`ve been avoiding you
You don`t seem to see what`s obvious
But it`s time some truth broke through
CHORUS
I`m not your lifeblood
I am myself
I am not your oxygen
You can breathe as well
This is obsession
This is addiction
And how sadly you`re mistaken
Your beating heart I`m not
I am myself
This is not about the way you are
You were a friend when you had my trust
There`s notthing wrong with you, as far as I know
You just think you need me way too much
But this has gone too far
I`ve seen you parking in my street at night
Hoping just to catch a glimpse, or talk with me
But what you`re wanting won`t ever be
CHORUS
I`m not your lifeblood
I am myself
I am not your oxygen
You can breathe as well
This is obsession
This is addiction
And how sadly you`re mistaken
Your beating heart I`m not
I am myself
Yeah this has gone too far
I`ve seen you taking photographs of me
Don`t you know you`re scaring me, this has to end
You gotta give up this fantasy, oh
CHORUS
I`m not your lifeblood
I am myself
I`m not your oxygen
You can breathe for yourself
This is obsession
This is addiction
And how sadly you`re mistaken
Your beating heart I`m not
I am myself
