[Verse 1]
You do what you want
You do what you need
Just don't let this get back to me
You do what you want
You do as you please
Do whatever will help you sleep

[Pre-Chorus 1]
She called me up at the break of dawn
She said that she's gonna be okay
She called as if there was nothing wrong
Okay, okay, okay

[Chorus]
I won't lie to keep you here
I could never be that cold, my dear
‘Cause I can't live this nightmare
And I won't live this nightmare
I won't lie

[Verse 2]
I do what I want
I do what I need
Do whatever will help me sleep
[Pre-Chorus 2]
She called me up in the early morn'
She asked if we're gonna be okay

[Chorus]
I won't lie to keep you here
I could never be that cold, my dear
‘Cause I can't live this nightmare
And I won't live this nightmare
I can't lie to keep you here
I could never be that cold, my dear
‘Cause I can't live this nightmare
And I won't live this nightmare

[Bridge]
(You do what you want
You do what you need
Just don't let this get back to me
You do what you want
You do as you please
Do whatever will help you sleep)

Carry, carry, carry
I can't get ordinary
I can't just keep you holding on
Carry quite contrary
I know you're feeling buried
So how's your garden gonna grow?
[Chorus]
I won't lie to keep you here
I could never be that cold, my dear
‘Cause I can't live this nightmare
And I won't live this nightmare
If you cry for me, my dear
Drowning in a pool of wasted tears
‘Cause I can't live this nightmare
And I won't live this nightmare
I won't lie
