Every Breath You Take
Built on crisp, clean guitar arpeggios echoing in spacious reverb, the sparse new wave/post-punk arrangement features steady, muted bass and tight, programmed drums. Atmospheric synths drift atop the verses, deepening tension. The mix leaves ample negative space, accentuating the haunting mood.

Lyrics
Intro
Delicate guitar arpeggio, subtle synth
Verse 1
I notice everything you do
Every moment of your day
I'm watching from the shadows here
Though you've turned and walked away
I can't let go of what we had
I'm holding on too tight
Your memory haunts my every step
I'm awake through every night
Pre-Chorus
Building intensity
I know I should move on
But I can't accept you're gone
Chorus
Every breath you take
Every move you make
I'm still here, watching you
Every step you chase
Every path you take
I can't stop following through
Can't you see you still belong to me
How my heart aches with each mistake
I'll be watching you
Verse 2
I see you living your new life
With someone else by your side
It tears me up inside to know
That I'm no longer your guide
The walls I built around my heart
Are crumbling down today
I thought I was protecting you
But I pushed you away
Pre-Chorus
Building intensity
I'm lost without your touch
This pain is just too much
Chorus
Every breath you take
Every move you make
I'm still here, watching you
Every step you chase
Every path you take
I can't stop following through
Can't you see you still belong to me
How my heart aches with each mistake
I'll be watching you
Bridge
Darker, obsessive tone
Since you've gone, I've lost my way
Can't sleep at night, can't face the day
I reach for you but you're not there
Just empty space and cold night air
Every smile, every tear
Everything you do, I'm near
Can't escape this hold on me
You're my only destiny
Final Chorus
Desperate, intense
Every breath you take
Every move you make
I'm still here, watching you
Every vow you break
Every step you take
I can't let go of you
Can't you see you still belong to me
How my soul breaks, I can't be free
I'll be watching you
Outro
Haunting, unresolved
I'll be watching you
Every night and day
I'll be watching you
In every way
End
