The Person You Are Lyrics by John Wesley Harding

The Person You Are Lyrics

    I put my forehead to the door
    And i heard the famous sound of infidelity
    Looks like i loved and lost once more,
    Oh, 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

    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


    I slam my glass down on the bar
    And my problems they hit the floor so gracefully
    I don't know where i parked the car
    But that's ok, tonight i'm on the town without me
    Tonight it's just me and my evil twin
    The one who slips one more drink in
    The one who slips away, when i start sinking


    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 theperson you are
    The person you are


    I got a job to pay the rent
    Put people out of work by repositioning
    Now no-one's sitting on the fence
    Whose garden will we end up sitting in?
    It's getting much too hot to heal the sky
    And it hurts too much to open up our eyes
    To fundamental truths that we hold as lies


    Why do we do what we do
    When the things that we do hurt the people we are?
    Why do you do what you do
    When the things that you do hurt the person you are?
    The person you are
    The person you are
    The person.
