Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I play out my role
Why even been out walkin'
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 feelin' is off-screen
And the tears for real, not actin'
Anymore
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Don't matter what I do
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
'Cause I end up hurtin' you
[Verse 4]
One more covered sigh
And one more glance you know means goodbye
Gorgeous, see that's why
We're dashing our seconds the rest of our lifetime
[Verse 5]
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 hurtin' you
[Verse 6]
(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 feel so small
(I don't whether to love or hurt)
The long hot summer just passed me by
[Verse 7]
Sh-da-da, di-di-di pop
Sh-da-da, di-di-di pop
Sh-da-da, di-di-di pop
Sh-da-da, di-di-di pop
[Verse 8]
Sh-da-da, di-di-di pop
Sh-da-da, di-di-di pop
Sh-da-da, di-di-di pop
Sh-da-da, di-di-di pop
[Verse 9]
Sh-da-da, di-di-di pop
Sh-da-da, di-di-di pop
Sh-da-da, di-di-di pop
[Verse 10]
I want to run but I can't hide
No 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 hurtin' you
[Verse 11]
It don't matter what I do (Say it now)
It don't matter what I do (Well, there's nothing to say now)
It don't matter what I do (I gotta go now)
It don't matter what I do (Why, oh why I can't go now)
[Verse 12]
It don't matter what I do (Hey)
'Cause I end up hurtin' you
It don't matter what I do (Don't what to do, baby)
It don't matter what I do (Still in love with you, baby)
It don't matter what I do (Hey)
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurtin' you
