There are some things in life we can't explain
Like why we're here, and why we have superficial fears
And why we are so prone to emotional pain
But my problem is far worse than shedding a few tears
I've got an individual on my mind
It's not without discretion
She's just been there even tho' she wasn't so kind
I guess you could say it's my bad Obsession
She treated me like a stray dog
While I showed her love she showed me abuse in style
My heart was separated from my head in a fog
And ultimately she was just so vile
So why can't I get away from her in my head
She's gone, so why is she still trying to beat me into submission
Sometimes I wonder if I'd be better off dead
At least then I'd be completely free of this Obsession
Sometimes I feel helpless in the world that is my mind
And all I really want in this ordeal is some closure
But that and my sanity is the one thing that's getting hard to find
It's been a year and then some, but I'm still fighting for my composure
It's hard to hide, and harder to cover it with a lie
I know I haven't avoided all suspicion
But I know if I lose what I have now that inside I may just die
Dear God all I want is to be rid of this old Obsession...
