Lyrics for Do The Things (You Want)

Let's write the songs that they want I thought they'd love us but they don't, they don't With tails tucked between our legs We'll find a home made of regret We'll stay shipwrecked and sinking What a terrible thought to be thinking You were with us but you let these thoughts in your head We're not who we're supposed to be With all the symptoms of the sickness We have seen Are you better off leaving? Tough words held behind my teeth Pleading that they be set free, but they're empty That's what some always will want A game of who's best with their taunts That are faceless and cred-less You were with us but you let these thoughts in your head We're not who we're supposed to be With all the symptoms of the sickness We have seen Are you better off leaving? With every song that you sing (I can't walk away) It's yours to the heart And when you fly or fall (I can't walk away) Then a new one will start My eyes burn with hope (I can't walk away) That you hear what we say If this was just for the gain then may we never get paid (You can't walk away) And the music that makes my feet move too (You can't walk away) Is the same as the music that's inside of you (You can't walk away) The truth is that when you can see past yourself (You can't walk away) Your song is the same as everyone else Let's write the songs that they want I thought they'd love us but they don't You were with us but you let these thoughts in your head We're not who we're supposed to be With all the symptoms of the sickness We have seen You're better off leaving
