Lyrics

I Wouldn't Do That to You

[Verse 1]

You took the life that I was living

You put it on and walked away

I watched my dreams separate

Come back as nightmares every day

[Pre-Chorus]

She'd always wanted to

Share everything with you

She never needed to

Take everything that you did

[Chorus]

You know it's true

Now I wouldn't do that to you

You know it's true

Now I wouldn't do that to you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

You took the progress we were making

You broke it up with no regret

From every piece you made a profit

You found it easy to forget

[Pre-Chorus]

She'd always wanted to

Share everything with you

She never needed to

Take everything but you did

[Chorus]

You know it's true

Now I wouldn't do that to you

You know it's true

Now I wouldn't do that to you

You know it's true

Now I wouldn't do that to you

You know it's true

Now I wouldn't do that to you
