As I Do
© 2003 by Joe Strell
Refrain:
I want to make you sigh
I want to make you cry
I want to make you feel as I do
I want to make you run
I want to make you fall
I want to make you feel as I do
Isn’t it bad enough to know
That you’re alone
And no one’s listening
Up above
Where it’s blue
Just like you
When you’re sad
And life ain’t big enough to hold
All that you feel about the world
Refrain
Let alone the lies
That you tell
When you’ve stumbled
Onto something
That’s important
Not to care
Not to feel too strongly
Not when they’re asking
For compassion
No, not today
Refrain
But maybe when it’s late
And the lights
Are low
We can walk
Out to the point
Of no return
And watch the waves wash in ‘till dawn
And then go back
To your apartment
Refrain
