Hands on the mirror, can't get much clearer Can't make this all go away Now that you're bleeding, you stare at the ceiling And watch as it all fades away From what you do...because of you... You know I can't be there each time that you call I swore not to come, but I'm here after all I know by the look that I see in your eye I won't stand around and I won't watch you die For what you do.. (What you do, what you do, was because of you) x2 Now that you did this, you ask for forgiveness Doctor could you be my priest Say you're mistaken, but look what you've taken You laugh as you lie through your teeth From what you do...because of you... You know I can't be there each time that you call I swore not to come, but I'm here after all I know by the look that I see in your eye I won't stand around and I won't watch you die For what you do... (What you do, what you do, was because of you) x2 Hands on the mirror, can't get much clearer Can't make this all go away Now that you're bleeding, you stare at the ceiling And watch as it all fades away From what you do...because of you... You know I can't be there each time that you call I swore not to come, but I'm here after all I know by the look that I see in your eye I won't stand around and I won't watch you die For what you do... (What you do, what you do, was because of you) x2 ...Because of you
