Obsessed

Hello, my name is Lewis
I don’t know why I feel the need to have to do this
But I have got some things I need to tick off my list
I’ll try to keep it clean and promise to be honest
I cannot begin to imagine why you look up to me
When someone doesn’t like me — but I guess to you, it’s hard to see
You mean a lot to me — and in all honesty
When you’re not at home — my heart, it starts to feel empty
We’ve made so many memories and had a lot of good times
It hurts me when you leave the house and you keep saying goodbye
But I know you’ll be back, soon enough
So we can keep on having fun until the sun ain’t rising up
If anything gets said to you about me, then it ain’t true
People tell stories just to hurt you
If you’ve got any problems, I’m the man that you can turn to
‘Cause you know that I’ll never let you down (that's not what I do)
I don’t know why you’re so obsessed
I don’t know why you’re so obsessed
I don’t know why you’re so obsessed
I don’t know why you’re so obsessed
With me…
I’m sick of feeling sick and tired and sick of all the rumours
Everything I’ve heard about myself, I’m feeling humoured
My name is in your mouth, but that don’t make you cooler
You might call me a loser, but your life is one big blooper
If you were meant to try to tear me down, then you should try again
You should never darken my doorway to play pretend
We ain’t friends — that’s where it ends
I don’t mean to ‘cause you any offence
But you can take it as you like and if you choose to go and cry
Then do it somewhere I can’t see, because I know you’ll criticise
The things that I write saying that they are all lies
But we both know that they’re true… Ain’t that right?
There’s a saying, where they claim that obsession isn’t healthy
The thing is, if you start to talk about me, I’ll be wealthy
‘Cause I know you’ve got a following — but I ain’t chasing clout
I know there’s loads of doubt filling your head — I’m proud
I don’t know why you’re so obsessed
I don’t know why you’re so obsessed
I don’t know why you’re so obsessed
I don’t know why you’re so obsessed
With me…
To me and many others, it would seem that you’re still holding on
To something that ain’t there and hasn’t been, for so long
You’ve met somebody else, so you should do us all a favour
Move on with your life, leave us alone so we ain’t need to
Speak to you — unless we actually need to
But I guess that won’t happen — I can’t stand you
You remind me of myself, sometimes
Back when I was a kid and I used to tell lies
To save my own skin, when I would get found out
Like when I’d hide money that was soon found out
But look at me now — I’m such a good role model
To your kids — what are you going to do, right now?
You’ll never turn ‘em against me — they’ve got their own minds
That they can make up themselves — and I don’t care if that grinds
On your mind all the time — it’s alright, they ain’t mine
I’d never take ‘em away — I ain’t that kind of guy
I don’t know why you’re so obsessed
I don’t know why you’re so obsessed
I don’t know why you’re so obsessed
I don’t know why you’re so obsessed
With me…
