What Do I Have To Do?

(album: Wither, Blister, Burn + Peel - 1996)

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 of 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?
And, 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?
And, if I can't make you want me
Just tell me, tell me
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
If I can't make you love me just tell me, what do I have to do...
To forget about you
