What Do I Have to Do? Lyrics
You make it hard to breathe
It's as if I'm suffocating
And when you're next to me
I can feel your heartbeat through my skin
It makes me sad to think
This all could be for nothing
I wish there was a way
For you to see inside of me
I've never felt this way
About anyone or anything
Tell me
What do I have to do to make you happy?
What do I have to do to make you understand?
What do I have to do to make you want me?
And, if I can't make you want me
What do I have to do?
I know exactly what you're thinking
But I swear this time I will not let you down
I'm not as selfish as I used to be
That was a part of me that never made me proud
Right now I think I would try anything
Anything at all to keep you satisfied
God I hope you see what loving you would do to me
All I want is one more chance, so tell me...
What do I have to do to make you love me?
It's as if I'm suffocating
And when you're next to me
I can feel your heartbeat through my skin
It makes me sad to think
This all could be for nothing
I wish there was a way
For you to see inside of me
I've never felt this way
About anyone or anything
Tell me
What do I have to do to make you happy?
What do I have to do to make you understand?
What do I have to do to make you want me?
And, if I can't make you want me
What do I have to do?
But I swear this time I will not let you down
I'm not as selfish as I used to be
That was a part of me that never made me proud
Right now I think I would try anything
Anything at all to keep you satisfied
God I hope you see what loving you would do to me
All I want is one more chance, so tell me...
What do I have to do to make you love me?

This is definitely my favorite SW song and it's even better acoustic. I've loved the band and their music from the first time I heard one of their songs. Chris's voice is amazing to me. I just wish they were still together making more passionate music :(
in a live piano version of this song, the singer says he wrote the song after his girlfriend left him while he was on tour.
God, I love this song. Basically about someone who is misunderstood and who doesn't know how to impress people because they demand so much. Then again, phatcat might be right.
Story of my life.
totally feel this song..
this song is just the most awesome song there is...it sums up pretty much my whole life rite now and i'd give n e thing for one person 2 read these lyrics and tell me what they meant 2 her...
god....tell me about it
good song, know exactly what he's talking about however, it can sound slightly psychotic at times
I hear ya, but don't know if I'd go so far as to say psychotic- I'd say more obsessive and desperate,definately...

nah, ill show you psychotic......JK
I totaly agree with metallifreak about this song. I wish I had the answers, but I don't, and this song just screams it out. Stabbing Westward has had such a great impact on my life... because of songs like this. SW ROCKS!!!
