"Everything You Do" started with a slightly inconvenient question: what if the things that annoy me most about you… are suspiciously familiar? . Jealousy, ego, bad intentions, questionable friendship habits… apparently I had a very detailed file on everyone. . Then I checked my own records. . Awkward. . Maybe we don’t always see people as they are. Maybe sometimes we just recognize pieces of ourselves and give them somebody else’s name. . Anyway, everything you do was driving me crazy. . Turns out I was pretty talented too. . ============================ . [VERSE] I checked every name that liked your posts. I searched your phone most every night. I asked where you'd been, who you were with. I turned every silence into lies. I was sure you'd cross that line someday. I kept waiting for the proof. I built a courtroom in my mind... Long before I knew the truth. . [PRE CHORUS] I never found a single thing... Not one message I could blame. Then I opened up my own phone... And every conversation looked the same. Maybe I was scared you'd do... What I could have done to you. . [CHORUS] Every fault I gave to you... Had already lived in me. Every accusation... Started long before we met. I thought I knew your every move. Every motive, every truth. I wasn't reading who you were... I was reading myself through you. . [VERSE] I said you only called for favors. Only showed up when life went wrong. I said our friendship felt transactional. Like I only mattered when you needed someone. I told myself you were using me. That I'd always be your second choice. The more I repeated that story... The louder became my own voice. . [PRE CHORUS] Then I looked back through my own calls... Your name was always there. But only when I needed someone... Almost never just to ask... How you'd been. Maybe I was scared you'd use me... Because I was using you. . [CHORUS] Every fault I gave to you... Had already lived in me. Every accusation... Started long before we met. I thought I knew your every move. Every motive, every truth. I wasn't reading who you were... I was reading myself through you. . [VERSE] I said you loved attention. Needed every room to turn your way. I rolled my eyes at every compliment... You happened to receive. I called your confidence an act. Your ambition just a show. I kept shrinking everything you did... So I would never have to grow. . [PRE CHORUS] Then I caught myself rehearsing... How they'd say my name tonight. Maybe I called it all your ego... So I'd never have to face mine. . [CHORUS] Every fault I gave to you... Had already lived in me. Every accusation... Started long before we met. I thought I knew your every move. Every motive, every truth. I wasn't reading who you were... I was reading myself through you. . [OUTRO] I spent so long trying to prove... The person I believed you were. Until I finally looked at me... Instead of looking through you. . It was never your reflection... . Just my projection.more
