lyrics

Now I'm Doing Me

What made you have to do that?
It’s like you stabbed in the chest just to see if I’d bleed
You dropped me on your doorstep
And now you have the nerve to get on your knees
And beg and plead for one more chance
Well not under under any circumstance
Would I kiss your mouth again

We are over, get it through your fickle head
That we are over, go find some other fool instead
And I’ll do like I did before — You set me free
Now I’m doing me

I saw you at the party
All gussied and laughing with your friends
I tried to hold my head up
And wait until the spinning in my brain would end
I guess I had to see your face
There was no proper hiding place
But I wish I’d gone and left no trace

Cause we are over, I’ll get it through my fickle head
That we are over, I’ll find some other fool instead
And I’ll do like I did before — You set me free
Now I’m doing me
Now I’m doing me

The photos fade
The daisies rot
And in the end ourself is really all we’ve got

I’m walking down the road now
Instead of kissing your sweet face goodnight
I don’t know which way I’m headed
But I will know when it is right
So though I miss your yellow room
And the way you hold your fork and spoon
I’m gonna sing my own damn tune

That we are over, we’ll get it through our fickle heads
We are over, we’ll find some other fools instead
And I’ll do like I did before — You set me free
Now I’m doing me
Now I’m doing me
Now I’m doing me
