My Obsession (Again)

My obsession (again)

 

I would bear my soul for you

I’m a fool, but what can I do

When I’m

So obsessed with you – so obsessed with you

I freeze

You have broken into my head

Play a god in every fantasy

I’m so obsessed with you – so obsessed with you

I freeze

 

You’ve the smile of Medusa

So eager to please

 

Friendly looks just started to fade

All your beauty’s just twisted contortion

Yet I’m still obsessed with you – still obsessed with you

No change

You have spat on all of my pride

Laid to waste my beautiful ego

Yet I’m still obsessed with you – still obsessed with you

Why me?

 

Why do you promise me so much …

Then run and hide?

 

And every day I try to live with

My obsessional brain

You have split me bare

You’ve become

My obsession – again

 

Over, every half of my brain

Over, every part of my brain!
