What You Do - Yola

I’ve been stuck here in the middle

Of the truth and feelin' alright

An abusive man can’t catch him with his hands

He has a force of an eager mind

So you lie for your baby

So he got so many secrets to hide

But you can’t do it for yourself now

Ain’t that what bruises the pride

I was living

Preserving your name

All the time

Leaving mine in shame

And what you did will always remain

I’m still stuck in here in the middle

Of the truth and an easy time

Lord as he is it’s too hard to hear

But I’m just trying to live my life

When you can’t hide it anymore

Just to keep them all feeling good

The truth is so unpopular

Almost worth enduring the hurt

I was living

Preserving your name

All the time

Leaving mine in shame

And what you did will always remain

He’ll say «if you love me then you’ll do it»

And he’ll find ya if you got those daddy issues

And if you kick my ass no one will ever have a clue

Just look at you

You look so strong baby

Hey and you’ll always carry on

Cause the show must go on

No one will ever know

Cause he got ya

Ain’t that truly alone

The long home

Yes
