The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When we were living together
I thought that
I knew you would stay.
Still when you left me
I tried to pretend
We could make it some way.
I don't care
If all of the mountains
Turn to dust in the air.
(What did you do to my life?)
It isn't fair that I should
Wake up at dawn
And not find you there
(What did you do to my life?)
It's hard enough losing
Without the confusion
Of knowing I tried.
But you've made your mind up
That I'll be alone
Now there's nothing to hide.
I don't care
If all of the mountains
Turn to dust in the air.
(What did you do to my life?)
It isn't fair that I should
Wake up at dawn
And not find you there
(What did you do to my life?)
