I put my forehead to the door

And I heard the famous sound of infidelity

Looks like I loved and lost once more,

Oh, but all's fair in love and war supposedly

I couldn't even burst in on you

See scrabbling sheets hear your excuse

Give you the evil eye or verbal abuse



Why do you do what you do

When the things that you do hurt the person you are

Why do you do what you do

When the things that you do hurt the person you are





I slam my glass down on the bar

And my problems they hit the floor so gracefully

I don't know where I parked the car

But that's ok, tonight I'm on the town without me

Tonight it's just me and my evil twin

The one who slips one more drink in

The one who slips away, when I start sinking





Why do you do what you do

When the things that you do hurt the person you are

Why do you do what you do

When the things that you do hurt theperson you are

The person you are





I got a job to pay the rent

Put people out of work by repositioning

Now no-one's sitting on the fence

Whose garden will we end up sitting in?

It's getting much too hot to heal the sky

And it hurts too much to open up our eyes

To fundamental truths that we hold as lies





Why do we do what we do

When the things that we do hurt the people we are?

Why do you do what you do

When the things that you do hurt the person you are?

The person you are

The person you are

The person.
