Emanuel & The Fear Whatever You Do
[Intro]
Two, three, four!
[Verse 1: Emanuel]
I want to be happy, but all my smiling memories are you and your eyes
And they make me want to get up and run
Like the farther I'm away from you the better off I'll be
Where I can erase you and feel like I used to
Oh where did that happy little boy with the afro go?
They say he gave this girl too much
That when she left he forgot how to love
[Pre-Chorus: Elizabeth & Dallin, Emanuel]
You think that you know me
Don't act like you do
You want to be happy
I'm saying you could
You think that you know me
Don't act like it's you who's in control when it's you who's losing it
[Chorus: Emanuel, Elizabeth, & Dallin]
Whatever you do, don't make the same mistake
Don't throw your heart away without it you can only lose
Whatever you do, don't ruin everything
If you want to be happy
[Verse 2: Emanuel]
I just had this nightmare, I was out of control
They had me tied up with my face against the ground
And there was nothing I could do
And in that moment, well my mind it turned to you
And to a time when I was happy
Like my thoughts could somehow change what was the truth
[Bridge: Emanuel, Dallin, both]
And lift me from my shackles, back to you in my bed lying awake just talking
But when my mind breaks through (breaks through)
And when I turn to reach for you (turn to reach for you)
To tell you all about what happened there
And nobody's next to me and I rub my eyes
Like I'm surprised by what I know to be the truth
[Chorus: Emanuel, Elizabeth, & Dallin]
Whatever you do, don't make the same mistake
Don't throw your heart away without it you can only lose
Whatever you do, don't ruin everything
If you want to be happy
Whatever you do, don't make the same mistake
Don't throw your heart away without it you can only lose
Whatever you do, don't ruin everything
If you want to be happy
