Stars - Long Hot Summer lyrics

I play out my role
Why I've even been out walking
They tell me that it helps
But I know when I'm beaten, beaten

All those lonely films
And all those lonely parties
But now this feeling is off-screen
And these tears they just ain't acting
Anymore

I'm all mixed up inside
I want to run but I can't hide
And however much we try
We can't escape the truth and the fact is

Don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting you you

One more covered sigh
And one more glance you know means goodbye
Can't you see that's why
We're dashing ourselves against the
Rocks of a lifetime

Don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting you

In my mind different voices call
What once was pleasure now's pain for us all
In my heart only shadows fall
I once stood proud now I feel so small
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
The long hot summer just passed me by

We're dashing ourselves against the
Rocks of a lifetime

Don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting you you
