Story behind the song
A friend of ours felt that he was getting away with a very bad relationship, for a very long time. Everybody knew. He heard this song but didn’t bat an eye. We never told him, or anyone else, who it was about. We hope that some day he will say: “I don’t want to do this anymore.”
Lyrics
I Don't Want To Do This Anymore
He said he didn’t owe anything to anyone
didn’t have to answer for anything he had done.
But now he’s not so sure of anything anymore,
now that his world has come undone.
And the secrets he thought he was keepin’
seems like everybody knows.
The pleasures that he had been seekin’
don’t thrill him like before.
The secrets and the lies left emptiness inside
now he knows there’s nowhere left to go.
(He says) I don't want to do this anymore
I've tried to turn my life around so many times before
Lord, I've come to understand
my life is in Your hands
I don't want to do this anymore
So many lies secrets in the night
so much deception now brought to light.
Looking in the eyes of those he has betrayed
he sees only sleepless nights and empty days.
(He says) I don't want to do this anymore
I've tried to turn my life around so many times before
Lord, I've come to understand
my life is in Your hands
I don't want to do this anymore
