Every Breath You Take
Akram Sedkaoui Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take

Every move that you make
Every vow you break
Every night you stay or you go away
I'll be missing you

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take

Every move that you make
Every vow you break
Every night you stay or you go away
I'll be missing you





I'll be missing you
