Every Breath You Take Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Bodester 

Cover art for Every Breath You Take lyrics by Sting

It's always made me think that it's about a daughter of his who has run away, or gone into some kind of bad relationship, or gone onto the streets or totally rejected him as a father or something. Of course, I don't actually know his history, so I guess it could be anything. Perhaps it's a tribute to fathers who have lost their daughters in some way.

I don't know how you can say so definitively that it's about a stalker, Philly.
