What Do I Have To Do?

Yes, yes I know.    Song lyrics aren’t often my style, but what can I say, it’s Stabbing Westward.    They are the only band that seems to have songs which describe me.     Throughout everything, each song seems to hit a chord.   Well, here we are again.

You make it hard to breathe.

It’s as if I’m suffocating.

And when you’re next to me,

I can feel your heartbeat through my skin.

It makes me sad to think this could all be for nothing.

I wish there was a way,

A way for you to see inside me.

I’ve never felt this way,

About anyone,

Or anything,

Tell me,

What do I have to do,

To make you happy?

What do I have to do

To make you understand?

What do I have to do

To make you want me?

But if I can’t make you want me,

What do I have to do?

I know exactly what you’re thinking,

But I swear this time I will not let you down.

I’m not as selfish as I used to be.

That was a part of me that never made me proud.

Right now I think I would try anything.

Anything at all to keep you satisfied.

God I hope you see,

What losing you would do to me.

All I want is one more chance.

Tell me.

What do I have to do,

To make you happy?

What do I have to do,

To make you understand?

What do I have to do,

To make you want me?

But if I can’t make you want me,

Just tell me,

Tell me.

How can I?

How can I?

How can I?

What do I have to do,

To make you want me?

What do I have to do,

To make you understand?

What do I have to do,

To make you love me?

But if I can’t make you love me,

Just tell me.

What do I have to do,

To forget about you?
