Long Hot Summer '89 Lyrics
I play out my role
Why I've even been out walking
They tell me that it helps
But I know when I'm beaten
All those lonely films
And all those lonely parties
But now the feeling is off-screen
And the tears for real not acted, anymore
I'm all mixed up inside
I want to run but I can't hide
And however much we try
We can't escape the truth and the fact is
Don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting you
One more covered sigh
And one more glance you know means goodbye
Can't you see that's why
We're dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime
Don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting you
(In my mind different voices call)
What once was pleasure now's pain for us all
(In my heart only shadows fall)
I once stood proud now I feel so small
(I don't know whether to laugh or cry)
The long hot summer just passed me by
I want to run but I can't hide
Don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting
(In my mind different voices call)
What once was pleasure now's pain for us all
(In my heart only shadows fall)
I once stood proud now I feel so small
(I don't know whether to laugh or cry)
The long hot summer just passed me by
I play out my role
Why I've even been out walking
They tell me that it helps
But I know when I'm beaten
All those lonely films
And all those lonely parties
But now the feeling is off-screen
And the tears for real not acted, anymore
I'm all mixed up inside
Why I've even been out walking
They tell me that it helps
But I know when I'm beaten
And all those lonely parties
But now the feeling is off-screen
And the tears for real not acted, anymore
I want to run but I can't hide
And however much we try
We can't escape the truth and the fact is
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting you
And one more glance you know means goodbye
Can't you see that's why
We're dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting you
What once was pleasure now's pain for us all
(In my heart only shadows fall)
I once stood proud now I feel so small
(I don't know whether to laugh or cry)
The long hot summer just passed me by
Don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
Don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
It don't matter what I do
'Cause I end up hurting
What once was pleasure now's pain for us all
(In my heart only shadows fall)
I once stood proud now I feel so small
(I don't know whether to laugh or cry)
The long hot summer just passed me by
Why I've even been out walking
They tell me that it helps
But I know when I'm beaten
And all those lonely parties
But now the feeling is off-screen
And the tears for real not acted, anymore
