Lyrics - Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?

• I Still Do
• Dreams
• Sunday
• Pretty
• Waltzing Back
• Not Sorry
• Linger
• Wanted
• Still Can't...
• I Will Always
• How
• Put Me Down

I'm not ready for this
Though I thought I would be
I can't see the future
Though I thought I could see

I don't want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don't want to love you
Oh, I still do

Need some time to find myself
I wanna live within

Can I go my own way
Can I pray my own way
I don't want to leave you
Oh, I need you
Am I ready for this
Did I think I would be
Can I see the future
No, I can't see

I don't want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don't want to love you
Oh, I still do

Oh, I still do
Oh, I still do

Oh my life
Is changing every day
In every possible way

And oh my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you

And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be

La

I want more
Impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore

And they'll come true
Impossible not to do
Impossible not to do

And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find

A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

Oh my life
Is changing every day
In every possible way

And oh my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
'Cos you're a dream to me
Dream to me

Oh, do you know
Where to go, where to go
Something on your mind
Wanna leave me behind, wanna leave me behind

You're spinning me around
My feet are off the ground
I dunno know where I stand
Do you have to hold my hand
You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me

Oh, when you walked into the room
It happened oh so soon
I didn't want to know
Does he really have to go
You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me

And I couldn't find the words
To say I love you
And I couldn't find the time
To say I need you
It wouldn't come out right, it wouldn't come out right
Just came out all wrong

Oh, you're spinning me around
My feet are off the ground
I dunno know where I stand
Do you have to hold my hand
You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me

Oh do you know
Where to go, where to go
Something on your mind
Wanna leave me behind, wanna leave me behind

You're so pretty, the way you are
You're so pretty, the way you are
And you have no reason
To be so insolent to me
You're so pretty, the way you are

La, la, you got to say it if you want to
But you won't change me
La, la, you got to say it if you want to
But you won't change me

(repeat all)

Who gave them the right
Waltzing back into
Your life, your life, your life
Now I feel fear
I wish that they'd never come
Here, here, here

What they gonna do, what they gonna say
Taking you away from
My life, my life, my life
Say, what they gonna do, what they gonna say
Taking you away from
My life, my life, my life

La
Who gave them the right
Turning it back into
Light, tonight, tonight
Then I felt fear
I wish that they'd never come
Here, here, here
What they gonna do
What they gonna say
Taking you away from
My life, my life, my life
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna shout
I don't wanna say
'Cos it's
Your life, your life, your life

La
(Who gave them the right, the right, the right) x4

Keep on looking through the window again
But I'm not sorry if I do insult you
I'm sad not sorry 'bout the way that things went
And you'll be happy and I'll be forsaken thee
I swore I'd never feel like this again
But you're so selfish,you don't see what you're doing to me
I keep on looking through the window again
No, I'm not sorry if I do insult you
No, I'm not sorry if I do insult you

(chorus)
You told me lies
And I sigh, and I sigh, and I sigh
'Cos you lied, lied and
I cried, yes I cried
Yes, I cry, I cry, I try again
I realize and
I sigh, and I sigh
'Cos you lied, lied and
I cried, yes I cried, yes
I cry, I cry, I try again

Keep on looking through the window again
But I'm not sorry if I do insult you
I'm sad not sorry 'bout the way that things went
And you'll be happy and I'll be forsaken thee
I swore I'd never feel like this again
But you're so selfish, you don't see what you're doing to me
I keep on looking through the window again
No I'm not sorry if do detest you
No I'm not sorry if do detest you

(chorus)

Keep on looking through the window again
Keep on looking through the window again

If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn,don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything
I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you

(chorus)
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger

Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you
(chorus repeats)

Sitting in an armchair
With my head between my hands
I wouldn't have to feel like this
If you'd only understand
Too many misunderstandings
Causing such delay
And if it doesn't work like this
Well, I'll try another way

(chorus)
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand

You know that all I wanted was
To be there by your side
And if you didn't want it
Well, you shouldn't have denied
You knew that you were someone special
Right from the start
But if you treat me badly
We'd be better off apart

(chorus)

Still can't recognize the way I feel, (I feel, I feel)
Nothing of what you said to me was real
And you still can't find the strength to apologize, (-ogize, -ogize) he lies
You just go on laughing and telling everyone lies

(chorus)
'Cos, you wanted it all, you wanted it all, you wanted it all
No, and there's nothin' at all, there's nothin' at all, there's nothin' at all
Maybe if you could see beyond your nose, (your nose, your nose) who knows
Nothing of what had happened surely shows
But your ego excelled and then your attitude
And you went on laughing and shoutin'
It's all too soon

(chorus)
(1st verse)
(chorus)

(Wanted it all, wanted it all, you wanted it all) x2

And now it's all the same to me
Be whatever you want to be
And go wherever you need to go
And when it all seems like a mistake
Take whatever you need to take
And leave the rest for my own sake

(chorus)
I will always
Go beside you
You will always
Understand

And now, it's all the same to me
So be whatever you want to be
And go wherever you need to go
And when there's nothing left behind
Taken whatever you needed to
And leave it all into my mind

(chorus)

Look, you're standing alone
(Standing alone)
However I should have known
(I should have known)

(chorus 1)
Never before, never again
You will ignore, I will pretend
Never before, never again
You will ignore, I will pretend

(chorus 2)
In your world
You're alone in your face
You're alone in your world
You're alone in your face

How you said you never would leave me alone, how
How you said you never would leave me alone

Now you're just walking away
(Walking away)
When you said you always would stay
(Always would stay)

(chorus 1 and chorus 2 repeat)

Let me take you
By the hand
Away from here
To another land
Oh this land in which we live
Where people love and are meant to forgive
And you always prove me wrong
'Cos you're always putting me down

I can't take this any more
I decided to leave
Walked out through the door
Oh, and why do you think I go
Because you know it can never be so
And you always prove me wrong
'Cos you're always putting me down

La, la, la...

(repeat all)
