Are You Doing It For You?

take a moment to stop and think and not jump to conclusions

you know i love you so but I think that you’re losing it

you’re overthinking everything and not the right things;

making yourself so miserable, so I sing

and every second of every day you’re thinking what will you do

you’ve got a lollly jolly circle of friends but they make you want to drink your blues

I’ll be a hypocrite for a second, Imma tell you that I think that you need to think

‘cause lord knows I never think to myself:

oh should I ask for help?

I can’t do this thing alone, I’m taking this out on myself.

I can’t bear to sing the song

because everything is melting it seems 

and unraveling it’s tearing apart at the seams

so I say, i gotta do this thing for me

I gotta do this thing for me

I see that you’re struggling again and it seems like you need a friend

you’re getting so caught up in yourself that you can’t let anybody in

I understand that you can’t stand all the drama when you're living as the good in the man

because everybody comes to you like you know what to do

but I know sometimes you don’t

and I know that that’s okay

you’re still doing your best

and that’s alright with me

oh should I ask for help?

I can’t do this thing alone, I’m taking this out on myself.

I can’t bear to sing the song

because everything is melting it seems 

and unraveling it’s tearing apart at the seams

so I say, i gotta do this thing for me

I gotta do this thing for me
