Icehouse - My Obsession lyrics

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)
