[Intro]
Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du
Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du
[Verse 1]
You can't say I lost myself if you don’t know me at all
Yes, there's still a bitter taste hiding under my tongue
And I'm just waiting for the night we both get down on our knees
How much does forgiveness really count on days like these?
[Pre-Chorus]
You say a lot of things
And act so wise
In spite of all the joy
You still terrorise
You still need me
But it’s just because of you
[Chorus]
I still don't know why I do the things
Why I do the things I do
I still don't know why
I do the things
[Verse 2]
You say it's meaningless to look the other way
I'm begging for a hand to get me out of this place
Because I'll take this armageddon to the grave
So can we fix this love of ours? It's getting late and I can't see straight
[Pre-Chorus]
You say a lot of things
And act so wise
In spite of all the joy
You still terrorise
You still need me
But it’s just because of you
[Chorus]
I still don’t know why I do the things
Why I do the things I do, ayy
I still don't know why I do the things
[Pre-Chorus]
You say a lot of things
And act so wise
In spite of all the joy
You still terrorise
You still need me
You still need me
You still need me
But it’s just because of you
[Chorus]
I still don't know why I do the things
Why I do the things I do
I still don't know
It's just because of you, oh
I still don’t know why I do the things
Why I do the things I do, oh
I still don't why I do the things
Why I do the things I do
[Outro]
I do, I do
Do the things I do
Still don't know why I do these things

Eli Hewson:
I remember doing the chords for this the same time as ‘Just to Keep You Satisfied’ and sending it to Josh, being like, ‘Here, would you put a beat over this?’ No joke, literally five minutes later he comes back with that beat over it. We took it into the live room and started playing it...
