The Person You Are lyrics

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 the person 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.
