[Verse 1]

You don't know want me around

So it's not right

To call me up in the middle of the night tellin' me that one day things'll be alright

Just settle down to sleep

Cos I can't just follow your lead

I can't be your accidental love every time you fuck up

I can't keep coming round for you to call my bluff

[Chorus]

Oh, but what else can I do? (What else can I do)

I just keep on coming back to you when I know I should

Stay away (stay away)

But what else can I do

[Verse 2]

If I don't run, I'll just fuck it up

But this isn't love

So is it worth the time to try and get it right or do I let it play like the songs do all night

You don't wanna be seen

So we keep it discreet

But I'm not invested enough, there's no stock in this love so I'm not really tryna keep secrets

[Chorus]

Oh, but what else can I do? (What else can I do)

I just keep on coming back to you when I know I should

Stay away (stay away)

But what else can I do

[Verse 3]

Bet on your dogs

You know it'll go wrong

It's only over when you say it's over, your accidental lover, your own pushover (over)

[Bridge]

Anything that can go wrong will go wrong

I've known since the last time I heard you talk

Your song isn't just a story, it's my fate, my plans and insecurities

All things begin and end, my dear

My body's yours but it's adipocere

It's not like you could really own me

Maybe if I didn't act so stochastically

You could take me for everything I've got

I'd still give you anything you want

But I think if you figure this song's about you

I'd rather die than tell you the truth

[Chorus]

Oh, but what else can I do? (What else can I do)

I just keep on coming back to you when I know I should

Stay away (stay away)

But what else can I do

[Outro]

What else can I do? (When you go your own way)

When I love you? (You can call me on your lonely days)

What else can I do? (When it's almost over)

When I love you? (You can have me till the clock ticks over)
