Lyrics for Every Breath You Take as interpreted by Demau Senae

Every Breath You Take Lyrics
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've 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 on crying baby, baby please

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

Every move you make
Every step you take

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

{begin fade out}

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

We all feel hurt when one we love breaks a promise, or doesn't meet an expectation. We feel 10,000 times as bad as when we can not live up to a loved one's expectation.

i saw an interview with sting where he said he wrote this song about the cold war but people just assumed it was a stalkerish love song

I saw a Behind the Music on VH1 and he said that it was supposed to be not quite stalkerish, but leave that sort of feeling. On the other hand, part of it was just about loving her. I think it seems more like that, and I'd be disappointed if it really was about the cold war, cuz the stalking/loving thing seems more emotional.

I know that the typical take on this song is that it has a stalkerish aspect to it. However, another take on it might be the love and devotion a parent feels towards their child. The parent watches their baby grow up and eventually away from them. They feel pain when the child leaves for his or her first day of school, first date, prom, and eventually leaves to go to college or whatnot. But no matter where or what happens to the child that parent will always be watching over them.

why not let this song mean to everyone what he or she wants it to be meaning.... really, what sting's real reason was to write this song doesn't matter.... let it be what it means to you!

btw, strung out also covered this one, if you like punk it's a nice cover to hear... really try it!

i was with this guy who used to play this song on his guitar to me a whole lot. i think now that i can't think of it any other way than in the stalker sense. the guy was kinda creepy, you know? it was ok though, cuz he was hot. see, that makes it all worthwhile.

Well I don't think the meaning is in the songwriter. When we all think it's a stalkerish song, then it is, no matter what Sting says! So the meaning is in the audience, the ones who listen to the song. It has an obsessive beat and awesome lyrics... if you listen to this song too much, you might get insane too! And what else could it mean than the literal meaning? Just someone who's obsessed with you, and who watches every move you make.

Since you've gone I've 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 on crying baby, baby please

This part proves that the song does NOT have anything to do with cold war or government. If you think it does, then try to explain this part from your perspective?

Amazone, if the lyrics of the song are up to the listener, then why are you so quick to say it's not about the cold war?

To me, this song has no feeling of being a stalker. To me it's about a lover who dies, and through heaven or being a ghost or whatever it is, watches his love live life without him.

I don't like to think of it as all that much stalkerish. I like to think of it as more "I'll be there if something happens to you"

All of you are wrong. I really do know what this song means. You people weren't even close to the meaning. My name is Rat, Golden Rat. I was partners with Sting in the mob during the late 70's/80's. The song is actually about Stings early days as a hit man. He actually had to change the lyric content so that it was suitable for for radio and tv. I recall some of the song:
Every kid I kill
All the blood I spill
Every bone i break
Every Life I take
I'll be stalking you.

thats all i remember, but its the real meaning behind this song.

I watched a VH1 countdown once of top how many ever love songs of all time. Well at a certain point in the show they pointed out that this song was not on the countdown because Sting did not intend for it to be a love song. It was actually a song written about a "Big Brother" type government. Those that have read the book 1984 will understand what I'm talking about. But for those who haven't it's about a controlling government that watches everything you do.

It's about a dude who's stalking his ex-lover.

Amazing work of art

I actually have heard Sting say that this song is about him imagining his ex-wife stalking him. I do believe that I heard it on one of the many VH1 shows.

Either way, I think the song is much more interesting when you think it's about stalking someone, because when I was growing up, so many thought it was such a great LOVE song. So, by at least having a different take on it, it makes me want to listen to the song over again and make new opinions about it, just as the "big brother" idea puts a new spin on this song.

I love this song but......excuse me while I catch up with my skin. I can't listen to this song at night while alone, because I'll start looking over my shoulder.

This song shows pure desparation.
This guy is so desparate to return to what he had that he can't let go of whatever his relationship was.

Sure. Sting really was a hitman. I'll believe that when my crap turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert.

Stalkery undertones, though I always thought he meant "watching you" as in watching the person in his memories, like a movie. ^^

It makes me laugh when empty-headed red state denizens use it as their wedding song.

i could be wrong.. but i think its about someone he WAS with. but they broke up and hes still not over her so he does kind of stalk her. kind of like jealous and obsessive ex boyfriend kind of thing.
Since you've gone I've 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 on crying baby, baby please

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

that part seems like broken-heartedness mixed with stalking..
creepy?
