You've Got To Do It Yourself

Told me not to use you

Tried to not abuse you

I try only to bring the news to you and

I am used and

Miscaltulated

You make your face just to make me jaded



I am truly

The one and only

Person you will find right now

Who won't ever try to put you down and

I am pushed and

This is deamed helpless

While you push me away you make it seem like I'm the one who's careless



I can undress

This situation

Make it seem so plain and dull

All in my control

What do you have to say bout that?



I'm no killer

I try to hurt no one

So when you cry and

Make it seem like...

It was my fault, it only makes me feel so alone



This life is

So complicated

I feel wrong

I feel right

I know I'm right

And now I am out of your sight



This one is for all

All of the people

Who try to fake their way through messes

Just to end up the next day- taking off their dresses

Not for no one, but rather for some one

Someone they pretend to be

To someone who would like to see

To someone who isn't me



You disgust me

Make me worried

I want to help you

But don't you worry

I will not bother

You soul is lost to someone

I cannot save you now

I will pray for you now

Careful you don't sin and

End up dying again...and again...and again



And again

You will come running right back here to me

As if my eyes are what it is you really wanted to see

I can comfort you pains but I connot stop them again

That is one think that I cannot mend

I'd love to help you best I can

I love you so much, my friend

But for my to help you, you need to help yourself

This insanity is no good for your heath

Life is something you cannot buy with wealth

My friend, you've got to do it yourself



Make it right, now for your self

Don't do it for anyone else

I'll still be here when you make it all right

Don't look now, just turn away...avoid the fight

Do it yourself.
