[Verse 1]
How can I forget your tender smile
Moments that I have shared with you
Our hearts may break
But they're on their way
And there's nothing I can do
[Chorus]
Oh, so do what you're gotta do
And don't misunderstand me
You know you don't ever have to worry 'bout me
I'd do it again
[Verse 2]
I can understand that it can't be
Guess it's hard as you were meant for me
But I can't hide my own despair
I guess I never will
[Chorus]
Oh, so do what you're gotta do
And don't misunderstand me
You know you don't ever have to worry 'bout me
I'd do it again
[Bridge]
So tired of life
No fairytale
So hold your fire
'Cause I need you
[Chorus]
Oh, just do what you're gotta do
And don't misunderstand me
You know you don't ever have to worry 'bout me
I'd do it again
[Chorus/Outro]
Do what you're gotta do
And don't misunderstand me
You keep going over every word that we've said
But you don't have to worry
About me
