This is a story in the first person, by an unreliable narrator. He's got problems, just because I take on this character for the song, it doesn't mean this guy is me. (You know, like Every Breath You Take.)
It’s really nothing, but it bothers me
I wish I could forget it, sit back, and just relax
Once I saw it, it was something I could not unsee
It needles at me unrelenting, there’s no turning back
I can’t risk exposure
And disrupt their encounter
Did I think I’d get closure?
or did I just want to be around her
I’m not obsessive
But I can’t let it go
I’m not compulsive
But I really can’t let it go
We had a lot of years together
Some of them good, but it’s so over now
She says that life apart is better
I follow her on her date around the town
This is devastating
I hate his stupid face
So humiliating
I watch them go up to his place
I’m not a masochist
But I can’t let it go
I need to see my analyst
Because I really can’t let it go
There’s no “Oh, I see!“ in OCD
To watch her moving on has got the best of me
What happened to “meant to be”?
Will she stay with him all night?
Our shattered destiny
I want to get in a fist fight
I’m not violent
But I can’t let it go
I might wish for an accident
I really can’t let it go
I’m not obsessive
I just can’t let it go
I’m not compulsive
I really can’t let it go
