Don't Work Yourself Up Lyrics

I could run out at any given time
don't leave a note, there ain't no reason to lie.
I guess I still havent found what I'm looking for
can't keep my hands to myself, or my eyes off the door.
Is it any wonder that I'm on to the next?
be the first one to tell you
and the last to forget.
let me drag you into this bitterness
sometimes I cant even understand the half of it
dont work yourself up too much, oh love.
dont work yourself up too much, oh love.

Sometimes I cant stand to be apart,
I walk around in this city alone till its dark.
and if the sadness wont ever go away
I suppose I'll build it a home so it has a nice place to stay.
Most of the time I dont mind the company
and I wish to God he'd stay,
why do you have to leave?
Seems like you always want what you cant have
well thats just life baby and you cant get mad.
dont work yourself up too much, oh love.
dont work yourself up too much, oh love.

So much out there I have yet to see
but sometimes I just want to settle down and start a family.
and mostly I just feel like I am stuck in between.
you dont come and I dont blame you I dont even trust me.
dont work yourself up too much, oh love.
yea dont work yourself up too much, oh love.
dont work yourself up too much, oh love.
yea dont work yourself up too much, oh love.

I could run out at any given time
don't leave a note, there ain't no reason to lie.
I guess I still havent found what I'm looking for
can't keep my hands to myself, or my eyes off the door.
Is it any wonder that I'm on to the next?
be the first one to tell you
and the last to forget.
let me drag you into this bitterness 
sometimes I cant even understand the half of it
dont work yourself up too much, oh love.
dont work yourself up too much, oh love.

Sometimes I cant stand to be apart,
I walk around in this city alone till its dark.
and if the sadness wont ever go away
I suppose I'll build it a home so it has a nice place to stay.
Most of the time I dont mind the company 
and I wish to God he'd stay, 
why do you have to leave?
Seems like you always want what you cant have
well thats just life baby and you cant get mad.
dont work yourself up too much, oh love.
dont work yourself up too much, oh love.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

dont work yourself up too much, oh love. dont work yourself up too much, oh love.

Sometimes I can't stand to be apart, I walk around this city alone till its dark. and if the sadness won't ever go away I suppose I'll build it a home so it has a nice place to stay. Most of the time I don't mind the company and I wish to God you would stay, why do you have to leave? Seems like you always want what you can't have well thats just life baby and you can't get mad. well there's no one to blame, and nothing here to see, you don't call I don't blame you, I don't even trust me.

dont work yourself up too much, oh love. dont work yourself up too much, oh love.

I wanna love you but I don't know how I wanna love but I don't know how Don't work yourself up too much too much love. (repeat)
