These Are Some of the Things You Do
You build me up, then you break me down.
You turn my frown to a smile and back to a frown.
These are some of the things you do.
You make me laugh, you make me cry.
It is not from the smoke, but your kiss that I get high.
These are some of the things you do.
You always tell those pretty lies,
And I believe you every time.
These are some of the things you do.
Out comes your ugly truth,
And I’ll fall for yet another poor excuse.
These are some of the things you do.
One day I’ll find the strength to go,
And you will be someone I no longer know.
These will be things that you will no longer do.
