Every Breath You Take Lyrics

Performed by Sting & Police



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

O can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching 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

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

This song is not about someone looking down from heaven, or a mother watching over a child, it is a song about a love who has left, and the singer does not want that.
"O can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take"

Ownership, and heartache with each step away. The ownership shows it is not a love song of any kind, it is a song about possession.

"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"

On it's own this verse could be about someone who has died, except the rest of the song is about watching that person as they go about their lives. And the watching every move the person makes is not the behaviour of love, it is obsession.

The song is about obsession and possession, and we should all feel sorry for anyone who thinks that is love.

Love it | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/10/11

Contrary to belief, this song isn't about stalking. I watched an interview with Sting where the stalking topic was questioned, and he had no idea about it until recently, he thought of the song more as a mother watching over her child, and the love she gives. I really don't care what anyone says, I love this song, and I think it's very well written.

This song is one of my all time favourites. I never get sick of hearing it. My father bought me Synchronicity for Xmas in '83 and this song was the first I listened to. It's simple and you will never forget it.

It's indeed about stalking... | Reviewer: Karma | 1/27/09

...but I bet most of the people have experienced love that in one point does feel like stalking. Unrequited or just so strong that it makes you feel like you can't get enough of that person. So it's about stalking but also describes love kinda well imo. Or maybe my love is just obsessive :D

Do you even know what the song is about? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/4/07

"lets face it , if someone told you "every breath you take . and every move you make . every bond you take , every step you take . i'll be watching you" you would call the cops"

Well, DUH. The song is about stalking.
