[Verse 1]
I'm writing this song
Because I can't talk to you
I don't know for how long
Or even if I want to
I wrote you a letter (ah-ah)
But I knew that you would read it wrong
So I thought this was better (ah-ah)
In case you want to sing along
[Chorus]
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
[Verse 2]
Take it from the top (ah-ah)
Let's go!
Five, six, seven, eight, to the coffee shop (ah-ah)
Back to where you wished you'd run away
You said I wouldn't let you (ah-ah)
Like I can hold you down by myself
I was trying to protect you (ah-ah)
But I can't protect you from yourself
[Chorus]
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
[Bridge]
Kick and scream like a little girl
Blame it on me and our little world
Go back and read every single word
And you'll see in the very scene that you wrote
You were the only one who let it go
[Outro]
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
(Exasperated sigh)
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
If you just didn't do it
Then you wouldn't do it
And you wouldn't be here right now
