Going Crazy

Our love stands out from the rest.
You know you love me and I love you, Wherever you’ll be, I’ll be there too.
We’re inseparable, and you know that.
But why are you hiding from the me who’s next to you?

Your obsession isn't love.
The you who watches me,
Why won’t you stop? Why won’t you leave?
Please.. You’re scaring me... Just leave.

It’s been a 1000 days since we've met,
Don’t call it an obsession.
Why don’t you know that its my love?
Why won’t you answer my calls anymore? You know you love me.

Why won’t you listen to me? Why do you still follow me?
Your presence suffocates me.. Please
Won’t you just leave me alone?
This isn't love... This is my never-ending nightmare.
