Why Do You Do It? by Joshua Faulkner Lyrics

Your phone screen's a strobe light
On and off for your whole night
I'm sorry I ran to you
With tears in my eyes

You didn't need this burden
You've got your own life
I'm sorry I ran to you
Whilst enjoying your night

Why do you do it?
Why do you do it?

Sixteen new messages
Within the past half hour
I'm sorry I don't have a filter
When my mind isn't right

You don't know how to help me
I don't really know it either
I'm sorry I say "I'm sorry"
I just really need you here
Why do you do it?
Why do you do it?

I never wanted you tangled up
In the hairs of my past
I keep going at it all the time
But sometimes it doesn't last

I always wanted you safe and sound
Not the light when I had none
Thanks for your time I might just go now
To figure things out on my own

The darkness encroaches
My doubts are all here
I'm here on my own
Nobody is near

Your hand is outreaching
I'm nervous to take
Will there be darkness?
Will it all fade away?

Why do you do it?
Why do you do it?
Why do you do it?
Tell me why do you do it?
I never wanted you tangled up
In the hairs of my past
