| I play out my role
|
| Why I’ve even been out walking
|
| They tell me that it helps
|
| But I know when I’m beaten
|
| All those lonely films
|
| And all those lonely parties
|
| But now the feeling is off-screen
|
| An' the tears for real not acted, anymore
|
| I’m all mixed up inside
|
| I want to run but I can’t hide
|
| And however much we try
|
| We can’t escape the truth and the fact is
|
| Don’t matter what I do
|
| Don’t matter what I do
|
| It don’t matter what I do
|
| It don’t matter what I do
|
| It don’t matter what I do
|
| 'Cause I end up hurting you
|
| One more covered sigh
|
| And one more glance you know means goodbye
|
| Can’t you see that’s why
|
| We’re dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime
|
| Don’t matter what I do
|
| It don’t matter what I do
|
| It don’t matter what I do
|
| It don’t matter what I do
|
| It don’t matter what I do
|
| 'Cause I end up hurting you
|
| (In my mind different voices call)
|
| What once was pleasure now’s pain for us all
|
| (In my heart only shadows fall)
|
| I once stood proud now I feel so small
|
| (I don’t know whether to laugh or cry)
|
| The long hot summer just passed me by
|
| Don’t matter what I do
|
| It don’t matter what I do
|
| It don’t matter what I do
|
| It don’t matter what I do
|
| It don’t matter what I do
|
| 'Cause I end up hurting you |
