What Do I Do?

getting dressed for work
another stressful day
makin those decisions
that come easily to me
never thinking twice 
bout what I need to do
what do I do about you?

can put it out of my mind
for eight hours at a time
that's just getting by
not as hard as you might think
but the minute I start the drive
as long as that will take
what do I do about you?

turning up the radio
trying to stop the thoughts
passing on the right
the left lane is too slow
shoving it in fifth
cause I'm driving way too fast
what do I do about you?

I've turned away from you
a thousand times in my head
I've pulled the feelings back
another unsuccessful coup
I've sworn I've slammed that door
but I know I'm not that strong
what do I do about you?
