Lyrics
The Things We Do
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.
Sometimes we're bad
Past all of our sorries
Sometimes we're wrong
More than we let on
Sometimes we try
So hard we start to lose track
Sometimes we need
A little snap to bring us all back
We hide
We hide
All the things we will never have
So why do we try?
I cannot ever leave
Living this whole heart
But I cannot ever leave
Living this whole heart
Sometimes we go
Just a little too far from home
Sometimes we give
Shadows we can't hold on
Sometimes we fly
The way that always goes bad
When we get by
Then we're leaving behind
We'll hide
We'll hide
All the things that we'll never have
So why do we try?
No, I'll never
Never never never
Wanna live in this world
No, I'll never
Never never never
Wanna live in this world
Anymore
