Lyrics

It's Yourself

[Verse 1]

Stepping out the back way

Hoping nobody sees

Feeling can be easy

Think how I feel

[Chorus]

What can you say?

What can you do?

Why can't you see?

It's yourself I love

[Verse 2]

Don't you know, I'm not asking

You must have made up your mind

Is it worth the pain you're causing

To those you're leaving behind

[Chorus]

What will you say?

Oh, what will you do?

Why can't you see?

It's yourself I love

[Verse 3]

Don't you know, I'd like some answers

You could give me a call

I hardly know the reason

And I really feel no good at all

[Chorus]

Where will you go?

Where will you be?

Where can I try?

It's yourself I love

[Instrumental Outro]
