I Am Myself Songtext / Lyric

I got your messages on my machine

I never called you back at the time

I got the flowers you sent to my work

With a note suggesting coffee sometime



I realise you're thinking 'bout me

But I've been avoiding you

You don't seem to see what's obvious

But it's time some truth broke through



CHORUS

I'm not your lifeblood

I am myself

I am not your oxygen

You can breathe as well

This is obsession

This is addiction

And how sadly you're mistaken

Your beating heart I'm not

I am myself






This is not about the way you are

You were a friend when you had my trust

There's notthing wrong with you, as far as I know

You just think you need me way too much



But this has gone too far

I've seen you parking in my street at night

Hoping just to catch a glimpse, or talk with me

But what you're wanting won't ever be



CHORUS

I'm not your lifeblood

I am myself

I am not your oxygen

You can breathe as well

This is obsession

This is addiction

And how sadly you're mistaken

Your beating heart I'm not

I am myself



Yeah this has gone too far

I've seen you taking photographs of me

Don't you know you're scaring me, this has to end

You gotta give up this fantasy, oh



CHORUS

I'm not your lifeblood

I am myself

I'm not your oxygen

You can breathe for yourself

This is obsession

This is addiction

And how sadly you're mistaken

Your beating heart I'm not

I am myself
