- That I Do LyricsI wish you didn't need it anymore
I understand exactly what you use it for
and better isn't always doing well
I know because I'm better now myself
And it's true, I need it too
but not the way that you do
I wish I didn't love you quite as much
The reason that we never talk and never touch
is the same reason that I never have done enough
to show you that you never needed to earn my love
and it's true, you love me too
but not the way that I do
I wish I didn't hold you to your word:
ignited, undecided they are undeserved
and never discovered when to stop
the giant made of stone came down off the mountaintop
see it's true, I lie to you
but not as well as you do
and it's true, I need it too
but not the way that you do.
I understand exactly what you use it for
and better isn't always doing well
I know because I'm better now myself
And it's true, I need it too
but not the way that you do
I wish I didn't love you quite as much
The reason that we never talk and never touch
is the same reason that I never have done enough
to show you that you never needed to earn my love
but not the way that I do
I wish I didn't hold you to your word:
ignited, undecided they are undeserved
and never discovered when to stop
the giant made of stone came down off the mountaintop
see it's true, I lie to you
but not as well as you do
and it's true, I need it too
but not the way that you do.
