The Person You Are (Live)

[Verse 1]
I put my forehead to the door
I heard the famous sound of infidelity
Looks like I loved and lost once more
Yeah, but all's fair in love and war supposedly
I couldn’t even burst in on you
See scrabbling sheets, hear your excuse
Give you the evil eye or verbal abuse

[Chorus]
Why do you do what you do
When the things that you do hurt the person you are?
Why do you do what you do
When the things that you do hurt the person you are?

[Verse 2]
I slam my glass down on the bar
And my problems they hit the floor so gracefully
I don't know where I parkеd the car
That's okay, tonight I’m on the town without me
Tonight it's just mе and my evil twin
The one who slips one more drink in
The one who slips away when I start sinking

[Chorus]
Why do you do what you do
When the things that you do hurt the person you are?
Why do you do what you do
When the things that you do hurt the person you are?

[Post-Chorus]
They hurt the person you are
Person you are
Person you are
Person you are

[Verse 3]
I got a job to pay the rent
But I can't get back to zero in my bank account
I'm always living in the red
Yeah, 'cause money doesn't count in such small amounts
But I will gamble on some weighted dice
Even ending evens would be nice
Leaving this casino will be paradise

[Chorus]
Why do we do what you do
When the things that you do hurt the person you are?
Why do you do what you do
When the things that you do hurt the person you are?
Why do we do what you do
When the things that you do hurt the person you are?
Why do you do what you do
When the things that you do hurt the person you are?

[Post-Chorus]
They hurt the person you are
Person you are
Person you are
Person you are
Person
Person
Person

[Outro]
It's really nice to be at the Union Hall. Thank you so much for coming, and some have you travelled far I know. And this is dedicated to you especially. To the rest of you, thanks for bothering, I suppose, to leave your house. All songs you know this evening. Nothing of my fantastic new album. Oh, maybe one.
