How Do You Do It? by Beth Crowley

I've been

Walking a tightrope

Wearing a blindfold

Trying to keep my balance

Meanwhile

You're out there acting

Like I never happened

Why would you be so callous?

And everybody's expecting

Time will just let me

Find a way to carry on

How do you do it?

You make it look easy

Being without me

I'm going through it

Can't get you off my mind

Tell me your secret

'Cause I'm tired of crying

If this is one-sided

Apparently there's nothing to it

So how do you do it?

All my

Days are too quiet

Deafening silence

Hangs over every moment

Colors

Turn a shade grayer

As we become strangers

You hardly seem to notice

It feels like I've got my hands tied

It's not a fair fight

And you've known it from the start

How do you do it?

You make it look easy

Being without me

I'm going through it

Can't get you off my mind

Tell me your secret

'Cause I'm tired of crying

If this is one-sided

Apparently there's nothing to it

So how do you do it?

I might be bitter and lonely

But you would never guess

I'm putting on a performance

'Cause I learned from the best

How do you do it?

You make it look easy

Being without me

I'm going through it

Can't get you off my mind

Tell me your secret

'Cause I'm tired of crying

If this is one-sided

Apparently there's nothing to it

So how do you do it?

Runaway Train by Beth Crowley

I saw the writing on the wall

In fact you painted me a picture

And I don't know why I cared

Enough to mold myself to fit you

My heart is a runaway train

Speeds so fast that I can't catch it

Is the pleasure worth the pain?

When did I become so reckless?

I've never been that good at love

I tell myself that I don't need it

But I just can't stay away

I want so badly to believe it

My heart is a runaway train

Speeds so fast that I can't catch it

Is the pleasure worth the pain?

When did I become so reckless?

Another note in the middle of the night

Saying "I can't stay but I promise you I tried

...You're gonna be fine"

So I take your things and I shove them in a closet

Swear I'm done but I always break my promise

In case this one's it

My heart is a runaway train

Speeds so fast that I can't catch it

Is the pleasure worth the pain?

When did I become so reckless?

When did I become so reckless?
