Lyrics Do You Ever - Ché Aimee Dorval

Do You Ever

If you ever find yourself believing
all those things you made up
to save yourself the trouble
of having to explain — yeah
the mess you’re in
we are in the same boat
Just struggling to remain afloat
on this pond we’re in (?)
Do you ever go just a little too far?
Do you ever — fight to escape who you are?
Do you ever — try to get by on your smile?
And do you ever — wake in a shroud of denial, once in a while
Wondering why
What’s the next step
The first is admitting you may have
a problem in saying it out loud
anyone will do
we need to get used to the concept
The truth seems better skewed (?)
But seeing is believing
And you can’t see the truth
Do you ever go just a little too far?
Do you ever — fight to escape who you are?
Do you ever — try to get by on your smile?
And do you ever — wake in a shroud of denial, once in a while
Wondering why
«That's not it»,
You said as you looked to the ground
While wearing that unembraced frown
«I must have been thinking aloud»,
And now there’s no turning back now
«And there’s that familiar — taste.
Of my foot in my mouth.»
