Story Behind The Song
Our hero has just reunited with his ex-girlfriend from years ago. They're walking into a movie theater hand-in-hand when she spots a more recent ex - and yanks her hand away and dashes off to hide. Ooops.
Song Description
If you threw a party with the jealous voices in your head, this song would be the anthem of that party. With a reggae verse, a sing-songy chorus and a hard-rocking bridge, this song is a stop at the emotional relationship buffet.

Lyrics
What You Do
Say the wrong thing
And hear me grind my teeth
Make the wrong face
And shatter my belief in you
CHORUS:
You don't know
What you do
Oh, you don't know
What you do
Play the wrong game
And feel me lose my breath
Say the wrong name
You're scaring me to death
CHORUS
I am exhausted
But I cannot go to sleep
I am a promise
That I can't afford to keep
I am betrayal
But I will not lose my trust
I am a fortress
That is crumbling to dust
I can show you
Do you want me to drive?
I can fix it
Makes me feel more alive
Hand it over
That is what you get
Give it to me now
I can fix it
