Every Breath You Take

Every Breath You Take is a song by The Police, written by Sting. It was inspired by Stings separation from his first wife, Frances Tomelty. Although often regarded as a love song, the lyrics were actually meant to represent the oppressive and possessive nature of a romantic relationship, with an obsessive narrator.
